“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”

Words by Robert Frost (1874-1963) — American poet.

About this quote

This line neatly captures the dual nature of romantic affection. It suggests that love is not simply a feeling we direct towards another person, but a deep need to be valued with the same intense devotion. True romance relies on reciprocity, where the urge to love is matched entirely by the comforting knowledge that one is equally longed for in return.

The remark is credited to the celebrated American poet Robert Frost. Known for his keen observations on human nature, Frost delivered this clever definition of romantic longing in spoken remarks during the middle of the twentieth century.
