Love Quote by Brigitte Boisselier

"Freedom of love is freedom to say yes to many lovers"

About this Quote

It lands like a provocation dressed up as a principle: by defining “freedom of love” as the freedom to say yes to many lovers, Boisselier doesn’t merely defend non-monogamy, she reframes it as a civil liberty. The move is clever because it smuggles a private preference into the language of rights, where disagreement can sound like repression rather than taste.

The key word is “many.” Not “a new love,” not “another chance,” but abundance. It positions love as plural by default and treats exclusivity as the constraint that needs justifying. That’s the subtext: monogamy isn’t presented as one valid option among others; it’s cast as a gatekeeper. The quote also sidesteps the hard, ethically central parts of polyamory - consent, negotiation, honesty, the boring logistics of care - and reduces freedom to permission. “Yes” becomes the headline, while the complicated “and” (and communicate, and be accountable, and accept limits) stays offstage.

As a celebrity line, it’s calibrated for cultural shorthand. It taps into a post-#MeToo, post-therapy-speak moment where autonomy and authenticity are moral currencies, and where “choice” is often treated as self-evident virtue. It’s also a brand-friendly posture: edgy but simple, transgressive without being explicitly sexual.

What makes it work is its audacity and compression. It sounds like liberation while daring you to object - and that dare is the real point.
