"Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus, there exists no beautiful woman, none at all, because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first"

- Paul Klee

About this Quote

This quote by Paul Klee talks to the concept that charm is subjective and ever-changing. He suggests that beauty is like light and dark, because it is relative and can never ever be determined to one particular thing. He argues that since of this, it is impossible to state that any one woman is stunning, as there is constantly the capacity for somebody else to come along and be even more stunning. This quote speaks with the concept that charm is not a fixed principle, however rather something that is continuously moving and evolving. It also serves as a suggestion that appeal remains in the eye of the beholder, which it is important to appreciate the appeal in all people, despite how they compare to others.
