For Tahitians there is nothing more desirable than love, being loved and making love. They are in love with the idea of love even more than they are with a real person. Love is free, passion unrestrained and wild, and all love stories, no matter how long they last, one day, a year or forever, are equally beautiful. Carol Vorvain
About This Quote

The original meaning of this quote is that Tahitians love being in love more than they do being in a relationship. However, the modern association with this quote is that people want to be in love as opposed to being in a serious relationship. In other words, these days the idea is that the best way to have a relationship with someone is to have head over heels love at first sight. If the two people never become a couple, it is somehow considered a success.
