Interpretation
The line asserts that love is not a transaction earned by merit, logic, or utility; it is an experience that exists in its own right. By rejecting the demand for justification (“no reason is needed”), it pushes back against the impulse to rationalize affection—an impulse that can turn love into a ledger of qualities, achievements, or obligations. The statement also implies a kind of humility: being loved is not always something one can control or explain, and loving someone may precede any articulate rationale. In this view, love is closer to a gift or a state of being than a conclusion reached by argument.
