About This Quote
The heart is a generous muscle. When you are in love, you are generally more generous. You do favors for your partner that you would never do for anyone else. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why people have trouble letting go of an ex-lover, even after being hurt so badly by them. However, if you truly loved someone, you would do anything for them.
