About This Quote
We cannot decide to love. We cannot compel anyone to love us. There's no secret recipe, only love itself. And we are at its mercy--there's nothing we can do.
Love is not based on reason; it is not something that we choose because it is the right thing to do. Love is a feeling. And it is impossible to force someone to feel something they do not want to feel.
That is true even of people who desire love so much that they would give up everything else, including their own lives for it.
