“If you are too smart to love, you will be loved by none”

Simplified Meaning:
When someone thinks they are too clever or too intellectual to feel love or show love to others, they end up being alone without anyone loving them back. It's like in school where there's a very smart student who always shows off their knowledge and thinks they are better than everyone else. If this student makes others feel small or unimportant, people will avoid them and not want to be friends. Being loving and caring is more important than just being smart because people are drawn to kindness and empathy. So, it's about finding a balance between using your intelligence and maintaining the ability to connect with others emotionally. This way, you can enjoy both respect for your smarts and love from those around you.
