Quote by Steve Martin
she is nearing forty and not so easily forgiven as when her skin bloomed like roses.
Summary
This quote is about a woman who is approaching the age of 40 and how the perception of her has changed over time. When she was younger and her skin appeared youthful and vibrant, people easily forgave her for her flaws or mistakes. However, as she is aging, the quote implies that forgiving her becomes a bit more challenging. It suggests that her physical appearance and its effect on others' perception of her may influence the degree of forgiveness she receives.
