"Love means never having to say you're sorry"

April 18, 2007 7:58am CST
I was just thinking back to a book i once read, titled Love Story and remembered a famous quote from it.... "Love means never having to say you're sorry." what are your views on this quote? does love really mean that you can get away anything and never feel sorry? Do you disagree with this quote? If so, then what is your opinion on being sorry when it comes to love?

Yes, I remember Ali and Ryan. Who can forget them in "Love Story"? I had a good eye cleaning! The movie audience shamelessly cried! Hahaha! But Ali's saying "Love means never having to say you're sorry." means if you really love someone, you accept him, understand him so well that he doesn't ever NEED to say he's sorry when he hurts you. It means you forgive him even before he says he's sorry. "I love you with all your imperfections!" That is real love. You don't nurse hurt feelings, you don't remember the bad things he's done to you.

this quotation is a metaphor. it doesn't literally mean you'll never say sorry. ofcourse you will. but the thing is, If you really love someone, you would avoid hurting them at all costs, and in turn never having to say you're sorry for disappointing them. admit it to you're selves that there comes a time that you've been really hurt that even the word sorry is never enough and never guna be enough to make you feel better. Ofcourse you wouldn't do that to the person you love. don't you?.

I totally desagree. No one is perfect and its normal to do things on the humans ways, its normal not to do everything right, so, maturity is to see when you did something wrong and say "sorry". No one would like to live with a perfect person, because you would know that you would never be as good as the perfect one. Also, having arguings, desagreements and all this sort of things in a relationship, means maturity, means that you're able to express yourself and request to the other half your needs. never have reasons to say im sorry means a boring relationship, no one is able to please the other half all the time, if so, that one dont have self needs, dont stand up for himself.

I think this quote is just silly. If you are a strong and loving person, you can recognize what you have done wrong and can say you are sorry and truely mean it.

No,i don't agree.I don't know why we love each and we needn't to say sorry.i think each relationship survives the "sorry".when you did a wrong thing,you should say sorry,no matter what relations you are.

love is ecstasy blended proportionately with lamentation, tides rise and lower ... sometimes conditions go erratic... then we have to bring them in control.... and a means to do that is to APOLOGIZE....yet there are variations in thoughts .... some believe in leaving everything to the fate.... nonetheless i would be intrigued if these lovers be sorry if they are wrong .... "SORRIES" increase LOVE not dampen them.....
