About This Quote
A lover's quarrel with the world is a phrase that describes the struggles and losses we encounter in our lives. The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place and we often find ourselves hurt by people who should be our friends. When we love those we know well, those relationships can be difficult as well. When we love someone deeply, we experience great pain if they are taken away from us. A relationship like that can leave us emotionally scarred for life.
