Quote by John Gay

Sure men were born to lie, and women to believe them!

Sure men were born to lie, and women to believe them!

Summary

This quote, often attributed to the French philosopher Voltaire, suggests a generalization about the nature of men and women in relation to honesty and trust. It implies that men are inherently inclined to deceive while women, on the other hand, are predisposed to be more gullible and prone to believe those deceptions. The quote reflects a cynical perspective on gender dynamics and behavioral tendencies, highlighting the perceived power imbalances and trust issues that can exist between men and women in interpersonal relationships. However, it is important to note that this quote should not be taken as an absolute truth, as it simplifies complex human behavior and may perpetuate stereotypes.

Beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.It is not a mouth thirst

Beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,But rather a heart inflamed and a soul enchanted.It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a win attached to a claw,But rather a garden forever in bloom and a flock of angels forever in flight.Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil.Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in the mirror.But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
