Summary

This quote implies that when something is broken, whether it is a physical object like a vase or a metaphorical representation of love and relationships, the process of rebuilding or repairing it can result in a stronger and more resilient outcome. It suggests that the love that is reconstructed after facing challenges or difficulties is more valuable and meaningful than the love that simply existed without any effort or appreciation for its completeness before. Thus, it emphasizes the growth and strength that can come from overcoming obstacles and rebuilding what was once broken.
