When you start to really know someone, all his physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in his energy, recognize the scent of his skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That's why you can't fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and body but not your heart. And that's why, when you really connect with a person's inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant. .Lisa Unger
About This Quote
When we really know someone, we begin to understand the essence of what makes that person tick. The only thing that remains is the person, not their physical appearance. When we can see beyond appearances and really get to know someone, we see something much more beautiful than the physical beauty that we were originally attracted to.
