About This Quote

A great deal of our relationships with the people around us are based on our opinions of them. When we like someone, we like them in spite of their faults. The flip side of that is that when we love someone, we love them with their faults. When we love someone, we know what they are like, and accept it.

When we like someone, however, we focus on the good things about them rather than their faults. We know that they are capable of doing much better than what they are now doing, but this is not enough to keep us loving them.
