About This Quote
A true diamond never over shadows... it's the brilliance of the subtle shine that's the most attractive. This quote from Ta-Nehisi Coates in his book, The Beautiful Struggle, perfectly conveys the idea of what a real diamond is, and what a fake diamond looks like. A real diamond shines with a brilliant sparkle that can be seen from all angles.
A fake diamond, on the other hand, only shines in certain lighting conditions. Both types of diamonds have their own unique qualities that make them beautiful in their own way. However, a real diamond will always be the most beautiful because it never tries to hide from its brilliance.
