Love is a trick played on us by the forces of evolution. Pleasure is the bait laid down by the same. There is only power. Power is of the individual mind but the mind's power is not enough. Power of the body decides everything in the end and only might is right.T.h. White
About This Quote
The essential difference between love and lust is that one is a trick played on us by the forces of evolution. Love is a reward given by the forces of evolution to those who have overcome all barriers, created a harmonious relationship with another person, and who have shown a willingness to sacrifice themselves for their loved ones.
