About this Quote

Love is a complex emotion that is hard to define. Aristophanes' quote recommends that love is the desire and pursuit of something greater than ourselves. This might mean that love is the pursuit of a deeper connection with another person, or the pursuit of a higher understanding of the world around us. It might also imply that love is the pursuit of a higher function or a greater good. Ultimately, love is a powerful emotion that drives us to seek something more meaningful in life. It is a desire to find something that transcends our individual selves and connects us to something bigger. Love is the pursuit of the whole, and it is a journey that can bring us closer to ourselves and to others.
