About This Quote

Most people would agree with the statement that the most memorable features of a face are the eyes. However, when you really think about it, the nose, mouth and eyebrows take up far more real estate than do the eyes. Despite this fact, most people remember eyes first, which is part of the reason why many people complain about their friends’ lack of attractiveness. They don’t realize that there is much more to a person than what they look like on the outside.
