Summary

This quote suggests that having faults and imperfections is actually a positive thing because it allows us to connect with others.

But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept.
