Christie's Treasure Trove

I just finished Where Angels Fear to Tread this past Sunday and this was a quote from the book that I liked and wrote down:

"... human love and love of truth sometimes
conquer where love of beauty fails."

I like it because, to me, it says that loving something beautiful in appearance is not always (and probably rarely) the way to go. You have to love a little deeper- find the things that make us human, that make us real and sincere.

  1. This was a great quote, Christie.
    I would agree that in order to truly love, we need to get beyond the beauty, and find the realness of the person inside.

  2. When I read this quote, I thought of Mother Teresa. She loved beyond beauty. Or perhaps she saw beauty in those who were unloved.
