"Love is like rain. it comes in a drizzle sometimes. then it starts pouring and if you're not careful it will drown you(Danticat 67)
i like this quote because itnot only it's a good advice for everyone but it also expresses a lot of feelings that certain people really feels. i feel like this is good advice for the people that has trouble finding love or people that don't believ in true love.
the quote seems to be very negative toward love, there is the image of drowning. Again, who says it and in what context. It is tough to understand without giving some background information.
