Summary

This quote challenges the notion that love inherently encompasses everything and excludes any negative feelings or attitudes. Rather, it asserts that it is indeed possible to love something or someone, but also condescend to it. In other words, love does not guarantee the absence of condescension or a sense of superiority. It highlights the complexity of our emotions and reminds us that love does not always imply unconditional acceptance or respect.
