Can you kindly interpret this quote please?

It is a contradictory quote, wolves don't love lambs, (obviously), maybe in heaven -- not here, not now, not on earth. Lovers love their love. I think the writer is making a comparison of extremes, something that is impossible vs possible. Still, lovers can be like a raging wolve, strike without being provoked... Players, are another story! When I think of wolves in lambs, all I can visualize is bloody wool, maybe that makes me sound psychopathic, but it is the reality of a hostile animalistic enviroment. Lambs are defenseless against the wolve, sort of like we are with our lovers, can only hope they love us, and not hurt us emotionally -- and the buck stops there -- emotionally (mlb)

Ah! it's you again. Let me see, sound kinda sadistic to me. Is it implying that lovers eat who they love? Of course not but i thought the thought was humorous. Hmm... Look at the relationship between "AS" an "SO" there's something there. But shouldn't you do you own homework? it makes it seem like lovers won't love their loves unless the wolves love their lambs. sorry i'm being stupid.

Someone was in a bad mood to write this! Wolves devour lambs and the quoter implies that lovers devour (or destroy) their loves. Seems he/she had a bad experience and is now generalizing to every relationship.

It seems pretty straight forward.
It is saying that lovers relate to their loves in a peditorial manner, feeding off of them to survive.
The only way, therefore for one to remain a lover is to be in love, to feed off or love, to stalk it and to prey on it and derive one's nourishment from that love.
A wolf cares for and relates to a lamb as a predator seeking to eat the lamb. A lover dor the same thing with loves.
That is it.

i wont do your homework for you but I'll help a little. They're making a comparison of the to types of relationships. Think about how wolves and lambs interact/ depend on each other and See how it would be applicable to the lovers.

Well some have stated some obvious answers. But one way to take the later case about the lovers is we do something to drive our loved one away or push them away. And they can become our enemy to the point of hating someone you once loved.

I think it means that since hate and love are so close in emotions, lovers' love can turn to hate, as woles was once loved lambs, but now eat them.

i don't think the wolves are looking at the lambs as loves
i think they are just looking for flesh to take apart and take
what they want and leave the rest to rot.

Wolves come in sheep's clothing------Very dark, sounds not
like love to me at all, sounds like lust.
