Quote by Lucille S. Harper

Time is a great healer, but a poor beautician.

Time is a great healer, but a poor beautician.

Summary

This quote suggests that while time has the ability to heal wounds and alleviate pain, it is incapable of making things appear more visually appealing or attractive. In other words, time may help us move on from difficult experiences and find relief, but it does not possess the power to enhance external appearances or make things aesthetically better. It highlights the dichotomy between the healing power of time and its limitations in terms of physical transformations or improvement.

How often had she wondered what would have happened if she'd remained with Jonathan? Not often, but regularly over the years. It was impossible not to have imagined that rejected future, a life of many countries, of vast and enduring adventure, of tiny rooms and rental houses.
