“But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. This is rare and pure and perfect.”

“Still, that's the point of love; you love someone despite their flaws.”

“I think her flaws make me love her even more. She's not perfect, but she's perfect to me”

“Love finds you when you start feeling incomplete in life. Love finds the good in you despite having millions of flaws in you. Love holds your hand and removes the emptiness of your life and you start loving yourself.”

“Love is rarely flawless,” Carter pointed out. “Humans delude themselves by thinking it has to be. It is the imperfection that makes love perfect.”

“A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love—true love—is something else.”

“It made her pure, and those we love must be pure, otherwise we can't love them. But loving a person is also making her pure. (p. 189)”

“First of all, let us try to know what love is. If love means to possess someone or something, then that is not real love, not pure love. If loves means to give oneself, to become one with everything and everyone, then that is real love. Real love is total oneness with the object loved and with the Possessor of love.”

“The fact that a woman you love reaches a point in the relationship where she ceases to love you, and despite that you can never bring yourself to scorn or despise her, is very rare indeed.”

“You don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.”
