Done Quote by William Shakespeare
“Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, But Lust's effect is tempest after sun; Love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, Lust's winter comes ere summer half be done; Love surfeits not, Lust like a glutton dies; Love is all truth, Lust full of forged lies.”
About This Quote
Love is a steady, renewing force that sustains truth, while lust is a fleeting, destructive impulse that leads to falsehoods and emptiness.
In simple terms: Love nourishes; lust consumes.
Love endures, lust erodes.
