About This Quote
"No. You surpass us all." Beside me she looked colorless and frail. The definition of beauty implies that it’s only half the battle. If you’re beautiful then you’re already halfway there.
But you know who surpasses us all? Those who are beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. These people possess such a powerful spirit and they attract those around them like flowers attract insects. You’d think that they would be content to stay where they were, but no, instead they want to grow and spread their beauty like a living rose among wax flowers.
