That, after all, is what the great stories are written about: How people manage to find themselves in love. Well let me just say that how a person falls in love is more important than who they fall in love with, for to truly fall in love with someone else, you must first fall in love with yourself. The process a person goes through to break down his or her outer shell and let love in is often as miraculous as the mystery of falling in love. Sage Steadman
About This Quote

This is another great quote from Ian McEwan. He talks about how it can be difficult to come to terms with who you are, who you want to be and how you want to live your life. He talks about how love can slowly consume a person, but our memories of this love are often the best thing that ever happened to us.
