Leopold Von SacherMasochAlas, woman is faithful as long as she loves, but you demand that she be faithful without love and give herself without enjoyment. Who is cruel then, woman or man?
About This Quote
There are some people who believe that love is something that has to be freely given. That it cannot be forced. This is unfair to the many people who are willing to give their all in order to make sure they are loved, but are also happy when they feel loved. The person who truly loves is the one who loves without expecting anything in return.
The person who truly loves is the one who does not love with expectations, but rather with gratitude and selflessness. The person who truly loves does not love because she wants something from the other person or because it will make her happy, but because she feels a strong connection and desires the happiness of the other person.
