About this Quote

This quote by Ambrose Bierce is a humorous take on the concept of love. He suggests that love is a form of temporary insanity, and that the only way to cure it is to get married. This could be interpreted as a cynical view of marriage, as if it is the only way to escape the madness of love. It could also be seen as a warning to those who are in love, suggesting that they should be careful and think twice before taking the plunge into marriage.
