And because people are stupid and use their noses only for blowing, but believe absolutely anything they see with their eyes, they will say it is because this is a girl with beauty and grace and charm.

About This Quote

In this quote, Aesop speaks of the fact that people will ignore the truth in order to preserve what they believe. They do not want to see that something is actually a girl with no beauty or grace or charm. Instead, they will cling to the illusion and say that it is a woman of great beauty and grace and charm. A person who knows the truth will not be fooled by a woman who is fake.
