"Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species"
- W. Somerset Maugham, A Writer's Notebook, 1949
I, being the partially cynical person that I am, found this quote to be both hilarious and somewhat true. I'm not saying that love is a wasted emotion for the masses, although in my darker time I might have said that. This quote does two things for me: portrays love as a menial faction, which could help to get overe an ex or explain some male behavior, and it shows that there are people who are too over critical of love and there is a way to prove this quote wrong. I think this is one of those quotes that everyone can relate themselves to.

What is a menial faction? Use that wonderful writing ability of yours and give us more. Be specific.-
wow, Ashley, this quote that you've used is profound. Actually I agree to a certain extent. By the way you spelled "over" wrong, but no problem.
COOL!! : ) this quote is difficult and deep, Well to me it is. Love is something I somtimes do not understand at all. I liked your way of explaining this quote though and your use of words were pretty clear. Ha sometime I do believe love is a dirty trick but hay on the other hand it can be a beautiful experience.
