Quote by Alicia Machado

Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime.

Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime

Summary

This quote emphasizes the fleeting nature of physical beauty compared to the enduring power of one's mind. While appearance may change over time, the qualities of our intellect, knowledge, and wisdom persist throughout our lives. It suggests that investing in personal growth, education, and cultivating our intellectual capacities is of greater importance than solely focusing on external attractiveness. Our minds shape who we are and the impact we have on the world, making them the true source of long-lasting value and fulfillment.

He had been bored, thats all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen even loveless slavery, even war or death.
