We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness–and call it love–true love.

About This Quote

Weirdness is the key to love. Weirdness is the key to happiness. We all know that we need love in our life and we all know that we need happiness in our life. A person with whom we can share this mutual weirdness and who also shares in our weirdness and who also falls in love with us and who also adds to our weirdness and who also shares in our happiness and who also falls in love with us goes beyond the usual definition of love.

You must have noticed that when you are with your partner, you feel happy, relaxed and at peace. But when you are with someone else, you feel very sad, tense and stressed out. This is because you are not completely comfortable with them around.

Your body language is different from theirs, your tone of voice is different from theirs, your responses are laced with tension, fear or anger rather than affection or happiness.
