"La beauté qui s'adresse aux yeux n'est que le charme du moment; l'œil du corps n'est pas toujours celui de l'âme."
— George Sand
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes what looks pretty on the outside grabs our attention right away, but this attractiveness doesn't always last. It's like when you see a shiny new toy in a store. You might really want it because it looks cool, but after a while, you might get bored with it because it doesn't make you happy in the long run. In the same way, people or things that look good might catch our eye, but their true value is found inside, in their personality or their kindness. Just because something looks good doesn't mean it has a good heart or a good spirit. This quote reminds us to look deeper and value what’s inside a person, not just what's on the surface. So, when making friends or finding a partner, we should pay attention to their true character and not just their looks.
