The following are Plato's classic love quotes that I carefully compiled for you. I hope you like them.

About Plato’s classic love quotes

1 Love needs enough space and time to thrive. Love is not sacrifice or possession. When you have love, let the other person be free; when you lose love, let the other person be free even more. Love is like a kite, you have to give it the freedom to fly, but you also have to know how to pull it back at the right time. Love without freedom will slowly tend to die naturally. Love needs freedom, just as love needs breathing. Distance and mystery are good ways to maintain the temperature of love.
