Some may say that such a girl is not ready for a relationship with a man, especially a man in his late sixties. But to that I say: We don't know anything. We don't know how to cure a cold or what dogs are thinking. We do terrible things, we make wars, we kill people out of greed. So who are we to say how to love. I wouldn't force her. I wouldn't have to. She would want me. We would be in love. What do you know. You don't know anything. Call me when you've cured AIDS, give me a ring then and I'll listen.

Summary

This quote is a defense of the idea that love and relationships transcend societal norms and expectations. It argues that we cannot judge or impose restrictions on who someone should love based on age or other societal conventions because even our collective knowledge as a society remains limited. The quote highlights the flaws and wrongdoings that humans are capable of and questions how we can claim to have the authority to dictate who someone should or should not love. It challenges the reader to reconsider their preconceived notions and to not pass judgment without a complete understanding.
