About this Quote

This quote by George Bernard Shaw supplies a playful and provocative point of view on the principle of relationship. By suggesting that "the excellent love affair is one which is carried out totally by post", Shaw suggests that a romantic partnership preserved with created communication can be extra fulfilling, fascinating, or suitable than one experienced face to face.

There are a number of feasible analyses for this concept. One is that written interaction allows people to express their ideas, feelings, and feelings much more eloquently as well as thoughtfully, as they have time to thoroughly select their words. This can result in a much deeper emotional connection between the two people, as they are able to share their innermost thoughts without the distractions or barriers often existing in face-to-face interactions.

Another interpretation is that by keeping a connection with letters, the people entailed can glorify each other and also the relationship itself. Without the challenges and also complexities of daily interactions, the connection can remain in a state of enchanting fantasy, unsusceptible to the mundane facts of life.

Shaw's quote can be viewed as a discourse on the nature of love, charming relationships, and the power of composed interaction.
