What is this quote from?
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
Do you fully understand it?

J.R.R. Tolkein meant that there were many people left unknown and undiscovered to enjoy. We should do more to meet quality people.

Bilbo Baggins. And to explain it to you so you will understand I'll put it this way. He invited a lot of Hobbits on his party so it was swarming with hobbit folk. So the first part of the sentence means that he doesn't know half of them as he should and would like because there obviously are too many and the second part of the sentence means that those that he DOES know don't in reality deserve to be liked as they are. I hope I made it sound more understanding.

Isn't that from Lord of the Rings? Or is it the Hobbit? From the beginning, in hobbiton, when Bilbo is preparing to leave. Such a nice play on words and a sweet sentiment on relationships. :)

Sounds like Jack off Pirates of the Caribbean.

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
It means I don't know too many people at this party but the ones I do know, I don't know if I should like you. Something like that lol
