About This Quote

We are so limited, you have to use the same word for loving Rosaleen as you do for loving Coke with peanuts. Isn't that a shame we don't have many more ways to say it? This quote is referring to how the English language only has the few words that we use for love. It is sad that we can’t come up with more words to express our love. Of course, there are many other languages on this planet that have more words than ours do.
