Complexes Quote by Jack Nicholson

“If it is difficult to know yourself as an individual, it seems to be more complex as a couple. So if you say, "Oh I like a person who is like this and that," you might take away the possibility of seeing the only one that might be right for you.” quote by Jack Nicholson
