Quote by Janet Fitch
What was beauty unless you intended to use it, like a hammer, or a key? It was just something for other people to use and admire, or envy, despise. To nail their dreams onto like a picture hanger on a blank wall. And so many girls saying, use me, dream me.
Summary
This quote highlights the perception of beauty as a tool to achieve specific goals or gain affirmation from others. The comparison of beauty to a hammer or key suggests that it is only valuable when it can be utilized or when others can derive benefits from it. It criticizes the notion that beauty becomes a means for individuals to achieve recognition or attention, as many girls are portrayed as inviting others to use them or fantasize about them. The quote ultimately reflects on the sometimes shallow and objectifying nature of society's fascination with beauty.
