Quote by Kahlil Gibran

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship

Summary

This quote suggests that love cannot simply emerge from spending a long time together or going through the motions of a traditional courtship. Instead, love is described as something that stems from a deep spiritual connection or affinity between two individuals. The quote further emphasizes that this affinity cannot be forged over a long period; rather, it can be formed in an instant or may take several years, if not generations. In essence, it highlights the requirement for a profound and immediate connection for love to truly develop.
