Quote by John Green

We all romanticize the people we adore.

We all romanticize the people we adore.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is common for individuals to idealize or place those they deeply admire on a pedestal. When we have strong feelings of adoration or infatuation towards someone, we tend to overlook their flaws, shortcomings, and ordinary attributes, instead focusing on their admirable qualities. We might glorify their actions, personalities, or physical appearances, creating an idealized version of them in our minds. However, it is important to recognize that everyone is human and has imperfections, and it is necessary to strike a balance between appreciating someone and keeping a realistic perspective.

I'm sorry that we have to have a Washington presence. We thrived during our first 16 years without any of this. I never made a political visit to Washington and we had no people here. It wasn't on our radar screen. We were just making great software.

There is that in the soul of man which must respond to the highest in virtue. It may not respond at once. Human nature can easily be over-faced by examples too remote and austere. Moreover, human nature can easily deny God because the whole race has long been in rebellion against Him. Yet there is that in human nature which calls out to the supreme examples of virtue: owns, as it were, the intention of God who made it, and feels the unmistakable homesickness of the soul.
