About This Quote

In the play, "A Chorus Line," Christine Daaé is a young woman who was raised as a boy. In Act II, she looks for a gift for the man she loves. She is worried that he will not like her gift because it was not from a store. The play also says: “The gift I’m bringing has nothing to do with money and everything to do with the way it’s wrapped.” The gift that Christine is giving is different from all other gifts because it includes the way she presents it to him. Every gift should be chosen thoughtfully and carefully.
