About This Quote

When two people fall in love, they not only give up their genuine authority over their own lives, but also, they become mutual authorities of the collective life that they build together. In other words, being in love makes you more likely to agree with somebody else’s ideas and wants. This is a unique ability that some people have that allows them to be a part of a relationship where everyone has a say and a vote.
