About This Quote
The idea of desire being the most important part of love is a common misconception. The author of this quote believes that desire can often cloud and corrupt any and all relationships. When two people are in love, it is not just the physical attraction that is important, but the feeling of connection and closeness that sets them apart. A sense of togetherness and mutual understanding is what makes true love relationship flourish.
