Quote by Elizabeth Taylor

Success is a great deodorant.

Success is a great deodorant.

Summary

This quote implies that success has the power to mask or diminish any negative perceptions or flaws an individual may possess. Just as a deodorant helps mask body odor and creates a more pleasant scent, success can deflect attention away from any shortcomings or criticisms. It suggests that achieving success can serve as a shield, protecting individuals from criticism and enhancing their image in the eyes of others. However, it also implies that this effect is temporary and does not actually address or eliminate the underlying issues.
