Quote by Iris Murdoch
A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the fa?ade of his appearance.
Summary
This quote suggests that a genuinely good person may come across as awkward or clumsy because they do not prioritize impressing others with their outward appearance. Instead of constantly striving to look stylish or putting on a facade, they value honesty and authenticity. Their focus is on being true to themselves rather than indulging in superficial measures to appear more fashionable or desirable. Hence, their authenticity may result in them not always meeting societal standards of grace or charm.
