David LevithanI can see that the sadness has returned. And it's not a beautiful sadness- beautiful sadness is a myth. Sadness turns our features to clay, not porcelain.
About This Quote
The sadness is beautiful. The clay is ugly. Porcelain is beautiful. The description of the clay in the quote makes it sound like the clay is unappealing or not beautiful at all.
However, it was only the author’s opinion, which he chose to base on his own experiences. The truth is that everybody has their own way of experiencing sadness and they are all beautiful in their own ways.The quote is about how the author can see that the sadness has returned to him, but he cannot understand why it looks different or how he can tell that it’s different from before.
