About This Quote

The French poet Alphonse de Lamartine once wrote “Love comes with a knife, not some shy question, and not with fears for its reputation!” The idea that love should be an active process that involves no shyness or fear is a strong statement. It shows that love should be earned by the two people involved. Not only must you earn the love of your significant other, but you must earn the respect of your family as well. If you are living in the shadows of your family’s expectations, it might be time to try something new.
