And so will the world end, I think, a victim of love rather than hate. For love's ever been the more destructive weapon, sure.

Stephen King
About This Quote

W. Somerset Maugham once wrote, "The world will not end if it is not loved." This quote is applicable to many aspects of our lives. It applies to the world in general, to love, and to love's effect on others. Maugham believed that if we do not love others, we will all be miserable. If we do, though, we can make the world a better place for all of us.
