About This Quote

As a man, I instantly became aware of the gold in her hair, her height measured against mine, and how easily she'd fit in my arms. This quote from a book by Renata Adler exemplifies the intensity of a first love. The author’s first love was a woman who looked just like his fantasy woman, who was tall and golden-haired and could easily fit in his arms. Of course, this is what Adler wanted to happen; he wanted to win his fantasy woman’s heart with his looks and charm.

He wanted to make her feel like she could “fit in his arms.” And he succeeded – but at a price. The result of this fixation on physical beauty was that Adler fell in love with the physical beauty of his fantasy woman and not the person inside.
