About This Quote

When love works, it’s amazing. It’s not overrated. As the song goes, “Love is a beautiful thing, let's make it last.” Love is something that everyone should have, but most people do not experience it. Love can be defined as devotion to another person.

But people must be devoted to the person they love in order for love to work. If they only act out of self-interest, then it will never last.
