Quote by Jacqueline Carey

The harp sounds at each passing breeze, but that does not mean the tune is masterfully played.

The harp sounds at each passing breeze, but that does not me

Summary

This quote suggests that just because something appears good or pleasant on the surface does not necessarily mean it is skillfully executed or of high quality. The comparison to a harp that produces sounds with each passing breeze implies that it is easy to create sound, but true mastery lies in playing a well-arranged and harmonious tune. In a broader sense, the quote warns against being fooled by superficial appearances and emphasizes the importance of depth, skill, and craftsmanship in any endeavor.
