"When love is not madness, it is not love"

- Pedro Calderon de la Barca

About this Quote

This quote by Pedro Calderon de la Barca suggests that love is not complete without a particular level of madness. Love is a powerful feeling that can cause us to act in manner ins which we wouldn't normally. It can make us do things that are unreasonable and out of character. Without this insanity, love is not as strong and enthusiastic as it could be. It is this insanity that has sex so unique and distinct. It is this insanity that can make us do things that we would not usually do, such as taking threats and making sacrifices. Without this madness, love would be dull and unfulfilling. Love is not complete without a particular level of madness, and it is this madness that has sex so special and distinct.
