Summary

This quote suggests that to be immediately loved upon first sight, a person should possess qualities that evoke both admiration and compassion. The individual's face would need to convey a level of respectability, indicating qualities or characteristics worthy of admiration, while also arousing feelings of pity or empathy in others. This combination of emotions can create a profound initial connection, as it appeals to both our admiration for strength and our innate desire to offer support and care to others.
