Summary

This quote suggests that true admiration is not born from a rational understanding or analysis of something, but rather from an intuitive and inexplicable connection. It implies that the things we truly admire are beyond logical comprehension and touch us in ways that defy explanation. This notion invites us to embrace and appreciate the complexities of our emotions and trust our instincts when it comes to admiring someone or something. True admiration emerges when we simply feel drawn towards it, rather than when we are able to consciously pinpoint the reasons behind it.
