Theophile Gautier Quotes

To Be Beautiful, Handsome, Means That You Possess A Power Which Makes All Smile Upon And Welcome You; That Everybody Is Impressed In Your Favor And Inclined To Be Of Your Opinion; That You Have Only To Pass Through A Street Or To Show Yourself At A Balcony To Make Friends And To Win Mistresses From Among Those Who Look Upon You. What A Splendid, What A Magnificent Gift Is That Which Spares You The Need To Be Amiable In Order To Be Loved, Which Relieves You Of The Need Of Being Clever And Ready To Serve, Which You Must Be If Ugly, And Enables You To Dispense With The Innumerable Moral Qualities Which You Must Possess In Order To Make Up For The Lack Of Personal Beauty.
