Quotes

Today during the Ignatian Leadership Honor Society breakfast with Fr. Sundborg and Dr. Jake Diaz, Stephanie shared a very beautiful quote that I think said "When love holds a scale it breaks." If I misquoted this I apologize. At first, from my perspective I was felt confused and thought I didn't understand it. I thought that perhaps what was being said was that love is to heavy or to grand for a scale to hold. As in, no matter what, a scale could not measure love. Then Fr. Sundborg asked Stephanie what she thought, and she described the scale as one that measures things. Then I thought that perhaps this quote could also be a reflection of how people feel in relationships. When you truly love someone you don't have to compare her/him to other people, you love that person for who she/he is. So, then I realized that perhaps that is why quotes are so powerful. Each quote can be interpreted uniquely. One person can come up with hundreds of interpretations for one quote and together many people can come up with thousands of ways of looking at one quote. Therefore, now when I look at a quote I will just have to remember to grasp as many nspiring insights as possible.
