Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.

Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.

Summary

This quote suggests that beauty often entices and captivates us, but it ultimately falls short of delivering true fulfillment or meaningful substance. While beauty may be captivating and alluring, it is fleeting and superficial, providing only a temporary promise of pleasure or satisfaction. Beyond its initial appeal, beauty is unable to deliver lasting value or meaningful experiences. This quote serves as a reminder to look beyond outward appearances and seek deeper qualities and meaning in our pursuits and relationships.
