Devil Quote by Criss Jami
“Love is without a doubt the laziest theory for the meaning of life, but when it actually comes a time to do it we find just enough energy to over-complicate life again. Any devil can love, whom he himself sees as, a good person who has treated him well, but to love also the polar opposite is what separates love from fickle emotions.”

In simple terms: Love is a simple excuse that becomes complex when acted upon, and real love embraces opposites.
