Life always squashes death. Love always soothes sadness.

About This Quote

Life always squashes death. Love always soothes sadness. When we fall in love, we often think that the other person will make our sadness disappear. However, that’s not how it works.

In the end, the other person may be able to make our sadness go away, but what will also go away is our ability to feel sad. In a relationship, we have to learn to accept that we can still be sad even though we have a partner who makes us happy all the time. Life is going to bring us down from time to time and it’s important to know how to respond when this happens.

The important thing is how we get back up afterwards and carry on from there.
