About This Quote
The concept of beauty is often debated. Some people believe that beauty is about physical characteristics, while others believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Modern art has taken on new meanings throughout history. What is beautiful to one person may be considered ugly by another.
One thing that has remained true though is that beauty can be found in each of us. It’s something that we all have in common. The only difference between each of us is our perspective on what makes someone beautiful.
