About this Quote

This quote by Oscar Wilde speaks with the distinctions in between men and women in terms of how they present themselves to the world. A man's face is a reflection of his life experiences, his successes and failures, his happiness and griefs. It is a literal autobiography of his life. On the other hand, a lady's face is a work of fiction. It is a carefully crafted mask that hides her true feelings and intentions. She has the ability to present herself in a manner that is more socially acceptable and desirable. This quote speaks with the power of females to manage how they are perceived by others, and the value of being mindful of the messages we send with our facial expressions. It likewise functions as a tip that we should not judge someone based on their appearance, as it may not be an accurate reflection of who they are.
