Ralph Waldo EmersonTruth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it--else it is none.
About This Quote
When it comes to love, there are many different kinds of love that people have. There’s the love between two people who have shared everything, the love between two people who have just met, and the love between friends. But there’s one kind of love that most people miss, one kind of love that makes everyone else look at them differently. It’s not an ordinary kind of love, because it’s truth.
A person who loves the truth isn’t worried about the way they look. They aren’t worried about if their hair is done up or their clothes are too fancy. They don’t care how they look because they know that their greatness is inside of them.
