About This Quote
That I shall love always, I argue theethat love is life,and life hath immortality. The human heart is a mysterious thing, and there is no way to truly see into it. We can never be sure what a person is thinking or feeling. It’s a secret that people take to their graves with them.
But there are some things we can know from watching people. And one of those things is the power of the human heart. In Shakespeare’s play, "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo says this line near the beginning of the play: "Romeo: That I shall love always." This line captures the essence of love perfectly.
Love can make us do things we would never do otherwise. It can make us risk our lives for another person; it can make us forgive people who wronged us; it can make us work hard for people we care about; and it can make us dedicate our lives to something bigger than ourselves.
