About this Quote

This quote by Oscar Wilde speaks with the idea that when a relationship ends, the emotions of individuals included can often appear unreasonable. This is because when a relationship ends, the sensations that were as soon as so strong and enthusiastic can unexpectedly end up being irrelevant. The emotions that were once so crucial can unexpectedly appear outrageous and out of place. This is because the relationship has ended and the feelings that were as soon as so strong have actually been replaced by a sense of detachment. The feelings that were as soon as so effective can suddenly appear ridiculous and insignificant. This quote is a pointer that when a relationship ends, it is necessary to keep in mind that the emotions that were once so strong can unexpectedly seem absurd and out of location.
