What a man loves may be his ruin, but what a man ruins he can never truly love.

About This Quote

This statement, while not entirely true, has a lot of truth to it. It’s impossible to love something that you have ruined. Love is just another word for the idea that something that is loved by many should be left alone. To love someone is not to ruin them or force them into doing things that are against their will.
