Quote by Jane Austen

Summary

This quote suggests that having a reserved or cautious demeanor may provide a sense of safety, but it lacks the appeal that is required for love or attraction. It implies that love demands a certain level of vulnerability and openness that cannot be achieved when one remains reserved. In order for others to feel a deep connection and develop feelings of love, they need to see and experience a person's true emotions and genuine self, rather than someone who is constantly hiding behind a reserved facade.
