Quote: Leo Tolstoy

This week's quote is:

"What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness."
- Leo Tolstoy
 
This quote stuck out to me because it is talking about a theme that has been analyzed and scrutinized throughout history. It seems as though it is human nature to be attracted to things that are pleasant to the eye, even when those things may be harmful both physically and emotionally. When looking at it from an outsider's point of view, it does seem like a strange and silly thing: why would someone eat that pretty piece of cake, even though they know it is bad for them? Yet we do it anyways.
 
Always,
