About This Quote
The most precious and the most amazing thing in the world is to love and be loved. If we find someone we can love and be loved by, that is what we really want in life. That is why we keep chasing after that person we love and we never stop looking for love. We hope to find the perfect one who will make us happy all of our lives.
But, when we do, sometimes our expectations are too high and we don't see the real beauty of the person. We fail to see how wonderful they really are. If you push me far enough, all I really know is that he was a fine fisherman.
