But, I believe, " I continue, "I know what true love is - or what it should be." "What should it be?" Tristan asks, his voice soft now. "It should be a friendship and truly knowing who a person is, knowing his flaws and hopes and strengths and fears, knowing all of it. And admiring and caring for - loving the person because of those things. Lisa Ann Sandell
About This Quote

In the play "Tristan and Isolde", when Isolde learns that Tristan has married Iseult, she expresses her anger and pain. She is very sad and hurt and she wishes that Tristan did not marry Iseult. Then, she realizes that Tristan did not marry her because of love - because of his friendship with her. Love is more than what we feel for one another, it is a true friendship.

There is an understanding of the other person, there is respect for that person and love has no boundaries. It is something that we want everyone to feel; we want everyone to feel inspired by this life and to know what true love is all about.
