I have found, quite possibly, the best quote...ever. 
I love Emerson, and while at work, I was reading some stuff on various websites when I stumbled across this.  When I find a man who understands the depth and meaning of this quote, I will have met my match..

His friends find in her a likeness to her mother, or sisters, or to persons not of her blood.  The lover sees no resemblance except to summer evenings and diamond mornings, to rainbows and the song of birds.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Love"

Ponder that.  And smile.
