Quote by Jean Cocteau
There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.
Summary
This quote highlights the cyclical nature of human behavior and choices. It suggests that individuals sometimes feel the desire for change or novelty and make a significant decision, like shaving off their beard. However, the quote implies that this desire for change is often temporary and individuals ultimately revert to their original state, symbolized by the return to growing their beard again. It reflects the tendency for people to veer back towards familiarity and their natural inclinations, despite straying from them temporarily.
