Lord Thomas Dewar

Love is an ocean of emotions, entirely surrounded by expenses.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The opening promises a sweeping romantic image, then the expenses arrive around its edges. Emotional abundance is surrounded by practical costs, turning the ocean into a comic map of a relationship. The joke lets affection remain vast while refusing to pretend that it exists outside everyday spending.
