Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who looks at it when it has been in the house three days?

Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who looks at it

Summary

This quote suggests that initial attraction to beauty fades over time. While something may be visually appealing initially, its charm diminishes after prolonged exposure. The quote raises the question of whether beauty holds true significance beyond its superficial appeal. It prompts reflection on the fleeting nature of aesthetic allure and the need for substance and depth to maintain interest and relevance in the long run.

Just keep saying yes.
