Summary

This quote emphasizes the beauty found in imperfections. By comparing the knots and dead branches of a tree to the imperfections in our bodies, it suggests that these flaws are not to be seen as negative, but rather as a part of our unique beauty. Just as a tree still stands tall and admirable despite its imperfections, we too should embrace and celebrate our own flaws, as they contribute to the overall beauty of our being. The quote encourages us to understand that perfection is not necessary for beauty and that imperfections make us who we are.

I had supposed until that time that it was quite common for parents to love their children, but the war persuaded me that it is a rare exception.
