About This Quote

The perception of beauty is a moral test. -Coco Chanel This is an opinion that the author of the quote has about the perception of beauty. There are many people that have different opinions on what they think is beautiful. If you look at different cultures around the world, they have different views of beauty.

For example, in Greece, it is very common to have thin figures and very long hair. In China, it is also common to have thin figures and long hair, but they focus more on how thin you are rather than your hair length. In America, we tend to focus on our eyes and the shape of our face, but we don’t care much about our thin figures and long hair.

This quote means that beauty is something that we should not judge people by because we all may have different views on what we think is beautiful.
