James M. CainLove, when you get fear in it, it's not love any more. It's hate.
About This Quote
When you love someone, you should be willing to stand up for them and not leave them to fight their battles alone. Fear, when it comes into a relationship, will cast a dark shadow over the entire thing. Love is a strong emotion, one that isn't easily swayed by fear. When a person loves someone, they know that person's faults and weaknesses. They can't help but love them anyway.
