Love, being in love, isn’t a constant thing. It doesn’t always flow at the same strength. It’s not always like a river in flood. It’s more like the sea. It has tides, it ebbs and flows. The thing is, when love is real, whether it’s ebbing or flowing, it’s always there, it never goes away. And that’s the only proof you can have that it is real, and not just a crush or an infatuation or a passing fancy. Aidan Chambers
About This Quote

The saying, "love, being in love, isn't a constant thing. It doesn't always flow at the same strength. It's not always like a river in flood. It's more like the sea.

It has tides, it ebbs and flows." In this quote, the author points out that love is not a constant as it fluctuates as much as the tides do. It is as unpredictable as the ocean except there is no wind to cause waves. The only proof you have that you are truly in love is when you feel it no matter how bad things seem or how hard the going gets.
