About This Quote

In this quote, I think Oprah Winfrey is making a great point. If someone is attractive, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would want to spend time with them. It doesn’t seem logical. How can anyone who is attractive be interesting? People don’t choose their friends based on whether or not they are attractive. They choose their friends based on what they have to offer and how interested they are in that person's life and thoughts.
