Elinor BurkettThose who don’t know how to weep with their whole heart don’t know how to laugh either.
About This Quote
The best way to learn the power of love is to be in love. It is impossible to truly love without having experienced it. Those who do not know how to weep with their whole heart do not know how to laugh either. When we lose someone we love, we often don’t know how to express our sadness.
We feel lost and at a loss for words. But when we lose something we value, such as a loved one, we know exactly how to express ourselves and what we feel inside. We can take that precious piece of ourselves and use it as our own and remember that time and place in our life when we felt the most alive and full of love for someone else.
