We can't believe what we believe to be untrue, and we can't love what we believe to be unreal.

About This Quote

When it comes to love, we are often too quick to believe the wrong things about it. We hold on to what we believe to be untrue about love, instead of what is actually true. Even if our heart tells us that something is untrue, that doesn't mean it is actually untrue. Love cannot be built on a lie, but can only be built on truth.
