Summary

This quote suggests that while something may appear aesthetically pleasing or striking, it does not necessarily mean that it is good or morally right. However, when something is truly good in its nature or essence, it will always possess a sense of beauty. In essence, it encourages us to look beyond mere appearances and recognize that true goodness will always radiate a beauty that goes deeper than the surface level.
