About this Quote

This quote by Sextus Propertius speaks with the concept that love is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can use us a sense of flexibility and joy, permitting us to skyrocket to brand-new heights.

The quote suggests that love is a complex emotion, which it can both give and take away. It is a pointer that we need to bear in mind the risks and benefits of love, which we must not take it for granted.

We should be aware of the possible repercussions of our actions and be prepared to accept the good and the bad that features it.
