Quote by Daniel Handler
Love can smack you like a seagull, and pour all over your feet like junkmail. You can't be ready for such a thing any more than salt water taffy gets you ready for the ocean.
Summary
This quote likens the experience of falling in love to being caught off guard by a seagull or having something unexpected and overwhelming, like junk mail, pour all over your feet. It suggests that love has the power to surprise you and that you can never predict or prepare for its arrival. Comparing it to salt water taffy not preparing you for the ocean emphasizes the idea that the intensity and vastness of love cannot be underestimated or fully prepared for.
