About This Quote

Probably the most important thing that each of us needs to learn in life is how to love and be loved. However, in reality, we may not be capable of learning these skills in the same way that others are. We all have different personalities and different ways of looking at the world. Some people will always act with love and compassion, while others will act in ways that are unloving and even cruel.

This quote by W. Somerset Maugham captures something essential about human nature: Marrying is one thing people seem to get worse at the more they do it.
