There's looking and there's looking. When some men look at you it's a greasy thing. It makes you want to have a bath. With other men it's nice. It helps you know you're beautiful.

Patrick Rothfuss
About This Quote

J. Paul Getty once said "There are two kinds of women. There are women who are nice to look at, and there are the other kind. The other kind are the ones you want to get away from." This is a great quote about beauty, but it is more than just that.

It is about the world in general, but it is especially about relationships. When you have a relationship with someone, they have to be nice to look at otherwise you will not have a relationship with them. When you have a relationship with them, they have to be nice to look at otherwise you will not feel good when you see them.If someone does not like you because of your looks or someone does not like someone else because of their looks then that person might not like anyone and that person will be alone for the rest of their life. This man is right in saying that beauty does not only mean the appearance but also the character and hearts of people.People who are beautiful on the outside and ugliness on the inside can make people sad and cry themselves to sleep at night while people who are ugly on the outside and beauty on the inside can make people happy and smile all day long while having fun with their friends.This quote shows us that we should be careful not only about our looks but also our hearts and that we should be happy because we should believe that we are beautiful no matter what others say about us or think about us.
