What the eye does not admire the heart does not desire.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, suggests that admiration and desire are closely linked.

It implies that our emotional and physical responses are interconnected, and that appreciation or fascination with something is a precursor to developing a desire or longing for it. In other words, the quote suggests that visual allure plays a crucial role in sparking our passions and interests.
