About This Quote
It made George wonder why love was suppose to be such a wonderful thing. As far as he could tell, love was just another excuse for causing pain. People would have made their choice to love or not love based on the person that the other person was. For example, if one person was mean and cruel to someone else, there would be no love in that relationship. Love was always about giving and receiving, not about who the other person was.
