Quote:
Love is a certain inborn suffering derived from the sight of and excessive meditation upon the beauty of the opposite sex, which causes each one to wish above all things the embraces of the other.

Andreas Capellanus

to me this quote is describing what love is its telling that its for the opposite sex also sying that they are not opressing their love or one another they are expecting that all things will heppen and will love eah other and be there for each other
