About Quote by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

“Lasting love has to be built on mutual regard and respect. It is about seeing the other person. I am very interested in relationships and, when I watch couples, sometimes I can sense a blindness has set in. They have stopped seeing each other. It is not easy to see another person.” quote by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie — Download Open image
