About This Quote

To a woman, a beautiful man is a man of beauty. This is not a reason to go running into a situation where she might be wrong. Take the time to get to know the person who you would be spending your life with. This quote from John Steinbeck captures one of the greatest dangers of falling in love too quickly.

Falling in love with someone who you think is beautiful can blind you from seeing what they really are. In this case, Phyllis had fallen for a man who was more of a tomb than a man. It turned out that Allan was not worth the trouble and she ended up wasting her life fighting for a man who was not worth fighting for.
