About This Quote

If you want to be around people who care about you and make you feel good, then you should focus on their character and actions. Treating others with respect is one of the most important characteristics of a great person. You don't want to end up with someone who only cares about looks and doesn't care about what happens to you. That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty.

It's like picking your breakfeast cereals based on color instead of taste. Love is blind, but it is not stupid.
