Quote by Anatole France

Lovers who love truly do not write down their happiness.

Lovers who love truly do not write down their happiness.

Summary

This quote suggests that true lovers do not feel the need to document or record their moments of happiness. It implies that authentic love experiences are deeply personal and sacred, and transcend the need for external validation or memorabilia. Instead, genuine love is said to be lived and felt in the present moment, and the act of documenting it may be seen as a distraction or a dilution of its purity. This quote highlights the notion that genuine love is best experienced and cherished by the individuals involved, rather than being displayed or recorded for others.

I'm just mystified and fascinated by women, and I'm still single. Hence all of that, and the fact that I celebrate them so much, I understand that I'm unevolved at this exact moment to share my life with one. I wouldn't inflict that upon anyone yet. But, I'm getting closer.
