Loving Sarah was like reading a particularly good book. That pressing and overwhelming need to just devour it as fast as possible is matched only by the need to savour it slowly and completely, lest all come to an end too soon. The all-consuming emotions are so many and varied that it is almost impossible to pick out one for a few minutes attention. They mainly stay jumbled and unattended, and for the most part not entirely understood or satisfied. But then, maybe it is in the understanding of our love for someone that the love itself disappears altogether. If so, then I don't want to understand, and I remain content to simply experience her. Somehow, the more I learn about Sarah, the better I understand myself. And the more I fall in love. Nadine Rose Larter
About This Quote

This quote is a wonderful example of the power of love and the chaos that comes from it. Ultimately, it is a love story about a man who tries to understand his love for a woman. Obviously, he fails to understand what she means to him. But, he does not stop loving her because he can never understand her completely.

With time, he learns more about her and what makes her who she is. He also learns more about himself, so much so that he can finally begin to love himself. His love for her does not go away, even if he cannot fully understand her.

He then falls in love with his newfound understanding of himself and his newfound understanding of her.
