Only little boys and old men sneer at love.

About This Quote

The only people who sneer at love are little boys and old men. Once you’re an adult, you know that love is the most powerful force in the world. Love is a force of nature. It brings people together, it makes them happy, and it thrives on human connection.

Love has no limits or boundaries. It accepts everyone who comes to its door with open arms, whether they’re rich or poor, black or white, young or old. Love can make the world a better place.
