Summary

This quote suggests that plain, simple individuals have a deeper understanding of love compared to those who are captivating or charming. The fascinating ones, due to their inclination towards impressing others, focus on creating an illusion of themselves instead of genuinely experiencing and comprehending love. In their pursuit of admiration, their authenticity and depth in love are compromised, leading to a depletion of their abilities to truly understand and engage in genuine relationships. The quote implies that ostentation hinders one's ability to grasp the essence of love.
