Quote by Penelope Gilliatt
Why is it that beautiful women never seem to have curiosity? Is it because they know they're classical? With classical things the Lord finished the job. Ordinary ugly people know they're deficient and they go on looking for the pieces.
Summary
This quote suggests that beautiful women lack curiosity because they are aware of their external beauty and believe that it completes their persona. The reference to being "classical" suggests that they possess a timeless beauty that requires no further improvement. On the other hand, ordinary-looking individuals, who may deem themselves as lacking in physical attractiveness, feel incomplete and therefore continue searching for qualities or traits that they believe will enhance their overall appeal. This quote implies that the perception of beauty can lead to different attitudes towards self-improvement and curiosity.
