About This Quote

To love is to suffer and there can be no love otherwise. This quote is very true, especially in the context of romantic love. Love itself is suffering. What we call “love” isn’t just a feeling or a set of words; it’s something that has to be chosen and practiced every day. We should always remember that true love isn’t just a feeling but a choice: we choose to love and we choose to suffer, and we often do both together.
