About This Quote
I love you because no two snowflakes are alike, and it is possible, if you stand tippy-toe, to walk between the raindrops. We all learn to make our own way in life, even if we start out with someone else’s footprints on our shoes. We don’t expect to see the same footprint twice. But it is possible to be like a snowflake, always different but always the same.
In the past, people believed that each snowflake was unique and could never be mistaken for another. But now we know better. There are so many different kinds of snowflakes that it would be impossible to find two exactly alike.
That doesn’t mean that there aren’t similarities between them all. The shape of a snowflake is the same in every way – a perfect circle – but each one is totally unique in color and pattern. That’s what being a person is all about – being different but being just as much alike as any other person can be.
