This quote emphasizes the profound connection between love and disappointment. When we invest deeply in our relationships or passions, we open ourselves up to the potential for intense disappointment, suggesting that the depth of our feelings shapes the intensity of our experiences, both positive and negative. Thus, it posits that the capacity to feel profound love also means we can experience profound sorrow.
