A glass jar tied with red thread holds dandelion seed heads, with loose seeds floating upward.

Willa Cather

Where there is great love, there are always wishes.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The saying connects strong love with the presence of wishes, without specifying what those wishes are. One reading is that deep affection keeps hope and longing alive. It presents wanting as something that accompanies love, rather than treating love as an end to desire.
