Ernest HemingwayThere will always be people who say it does not exist because they cannot have it. But I tell you it is true and that you have it and that you are lucky even if you die tomorrow.
About This Quote
The quote above is something that I have heard a few people say. The thing is, if someone tells you that you have a rare and valuable diamond that you should value it a lot then they are just a liar. If they tell you that love is a rare and valuable diamond then they are telling the truth. These people would probably never admit to having such a thing but their words will make you think or feel differently about them. If someone tells another person that they have such a thing and the other person dies tomorrow, the person who told them said it is true and lucky even if they die tomorrow.
