"Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday"
- Thornton Wilder
About this Quote
In this quote, Thornton Wilder highlights the idea that love can not be completely comprehended or described through experience alone. He recommends that even those who have spent their whole lives in pursuit of love may not have a total understanding of it. Instead, he compares this to a kid who has actually just recently lost their precious pet, indicating that the kid's pure and innocent love for their pet dog may hold more depth and reality than the love of those who have actually been searching for it for years. Wilder's words advise us that love is a complex and evasive feeling that can not be fully comprehended or explained, however rather felt and experienced in its purest kind.
