"When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her"

This quote by Oscar Wilde speaks with the idea that love is a finite resource. Once a man has actually offered his love to a female, he will do anything for her other than continue to enjoy her. This suggests that the male's love for the female has actually been exhausted and he is no longer able to give her the exact same level of love that he when did. It also indicates that the male is still happy to do anything else for the lady, even if he can no longer love her in the same method. This could be interpreted as a sign of loyalty and commitment, even if the man's love has actually faded. Eventually, this quote speaks to the idea that love is not an infinite resource which it can be exhausted gradually.
