Summary

This quote sarcastically brings attention to the disconnect between beauty and truth. While truth is often associated with inner qualities and intellectual pursuits, beauty is commonly associated with outward appearances and superficiality. The quote humorously questions why individuals do not prioritize their physical appearance, such as getting their hair done, in an environment like the library where truth is believed to be found. It highlights the paradoxical nature of human priorities and challenges the conventional understanding of beauty.
