I'd learned more about her in that exhausted, murmuring hour than in all the many months before it. Lovers find their way by such insights and confidences: they're the stars we use to navigate the ocean of desire. And the brightest of those stars are the heartbreaks and sorrows. The most precious gift you can bring to your lover is your suffering. So I took each sadness she confessed to me, and pinned it to the sky. Gregory David Roberts
About This Quote

The most important thing about a lover is how much they share with you. If your lover tells you about their past and all the bad things they have experienced, you will know if they truly love you and if they would be loyal to you. You will learn what kind of person they really are and what kind of partner they will be. That is why it is important for lovers to tell each other their experiences, as well as all their secrets.
