"Is not general incivility the very essence of love?"

I don't know what to think of that quote.
I mean, I'm not even sure if I've experienced it to understand it.

So I'm trying to do my Extension English homework right now, but I really have no motivation.
I have to write a narrative based on a scene in the movie "The Jane Austen Book Club" but in the way of Jane Austen.
Very exciting, isn't it? Yeah, I think so too.
