Quote by Jennifer Hudock

Beauty doesn't die with the beholder; it moves on. Hiding in the shadows, afraid of the light, she flees to find another host, possessing the body like a demon in need of exorcising.

Beauty doesn't die with the beholder; it moves on. Hiding in

Summary

This quote suggests that beauty is not limited to the perception of a single individual. It implies that beauty is ephemeral and transient, constantly seeking new hosts to inhabit. It characterizes beauty as something that can be elusive and scared, seeking refuge in the shadows and avoiding exposure to the light. Furthermore, the analogy of beauty possessing a body like a demon in need of exorcising portrays it as something that needs to be constantly renewed and cleansed.

Neither of us knows what the public will think. There's no doubt in my mind that I have found out how to begin (at forty) to say something in my own voice; and that interests me so that I feel I can go ahead without praise.

One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.

A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into; the other functions and faculties may be more godlike, but in point of time they come afterwards. A man dies and is buried, and all his words and actions are forgotten, but the food he has eaten lives after him in the sound or rotten bones of his children. I think it could be plausibly argued that changes of diet are more important than changes of dynasty or even of religion....Yet it is curious how seldom the all-importance of food is recognized. You see statues everywhere to politicians, poets, bishops, but none to cooks or bacon-curers or market gardeners.
