True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.

True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few

Summary

This quote refers to the elusive nature of true love. It suggests that while many people speak of love and its existence, genuine and profound love is rare to encounter. Like ghosts that are often discussed but seldom perceived, true love is seen as a phenomenon that is often romanticized, yet only experienced by a lucky few. The quote emphasizes the scarcity and mysteriousness of finding authentic love in a world where it is commonly idealized.
