About This Quote
A woman who has spent her whole life under the thumb of a man, no matter how much he might tell her she is beautiful, will never see him see beauty in the world she lives in. It will not seem fresh to her. Everything will seem dull and dreary. She may even become blind to any beauty that exists, at least until she is freed from the bondage of their relationship. Even though she might be grateful for the freedom of being alone, she will never be able to see it as anything but an empty wasteland.
