Quote by Jean Paul Richter
A woman who could always love would never grow old; and the love of mother and wife would often give or preserve many charms if it were not too often combined with parental and conjugal anger. There remains in the face of women who are naturally serene and peaceful, and of those rendered so by religion, an after-spring, and later an after-summer, the reflex of their most beautiful bloom.
Summary
This quote suggests that a woman who is capable of giving and receiving love will always retain her youthfulness. The love of being a mother and a wife can add to a woman's attractiveness, as long as it is not overshadowed by anger towards her children or spouse. Women who naturally possess calmness and tranquility, as well as those who find solace in religion, continue to radiate a beauty that reflects the flourish of their prime years even as they age.
