About This Quote
The quote above features a man who is having a hard time sticking with a relationship. He is trying to make the woman he loves see the beauty of his country and she cannot, because she doesn't know what beauty is. She keeps telling him that his country is not beautiful and how it could not possibly be beautiful because there are no parks or statues or beaches. However, the man in the quote is stubborn and believes that there must be something good about his country, even though he can't find it. In this case, he didn't realize that the woman was too set in her ways to ever see beauty where he saw it.
