Quote by Alicia Machado

Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime.

Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime

Summary

This quote emphasizes the fleeting nature of physical beauty compared to the enduring power of one's mind. While appearance may change over time, the qualities of our intellect, knowledge, and wisdom persist throughout our lives. It suggests that investing in personal growth, education, and cultivating our intellectual capacities is of greater importance than solely focusing on external attractiveness. Our minds shape who we are and the impact we have on the world, making them the true source of long-lasting value and fulfillment.

Personal identity seems like it's just such an American archetype, from Holly Golightly re-inventing herself in 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' to Jay Gatsby in 'The Great Gatsby.' It seems like the sort of archetypal American issue. If you're given the freedom to be anything, or be anyone, what do you do with it?
