Orhan PamukTell me then, does love make one a fool or do only fools fall in love?
About This Quote
Love is neither foolish nor foolish. Love can make one do foolish things or it can make one wise. Love makes no one a fool. Love is like an open door for wisdom, but only if the one who is to enter has the wisdom to understand what love is and what it can do. The person who does not have this understanding because of the foolishness of youth is likely to fall by the wayside when love leaves them behind.
