Quote by Nikos Kazantzakis

Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive.

Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you

Summary

This quote suggests that beauty carries a relentless and unforgiving nature. Rather than being something that individuals simply observe and appreciate, it has the power to scrutinize and judge them. Beauty does not offer forgiveness to those who do not meet its standards. It implies that beauty can be an intense and even harsh force, pressuring individuals to conform to its ideals and constantly measure up to its expectations.
