About This Quote
We know so little about one another. We embrace a shadow and love a dream. This saying is usually said in conversation with someone who is in love. They are not in love with the real person but are in love with the idea of the person they are in love with.
Sometimes, people fall in love with the idea of their partner rather than what that person actually is. With this concept, the lover will be understanding of any flaws or problems that arise between them and their partner without being hurt or offended by these flaws. The lover will embrace their partner's flaws because they know that is what makes their partner special.
The lover will accept their imperfections because they know that is what makes them unique.
