"Part of the reason for the ugliness of adults, in a child's eyes, is that the child is usually looking upwards, and few faces are at their best when seen from below"

- George Orwell

About this Quote

This quote by George Orwell talks to the concept that adults can appear ugly to kids, which this is because of the viewpoint of the kid. When a child looks up at an adult, they are seeing the grownup from below, which can distort the functions of the face and make them appear less appealing. This is because the features of the face are not in their natural position, and the kid is not able to value the appeal of the adult's face. This quote likewise speaks to the concept that grownups can be frightening to kids, as they are seen from a lower perspective and can appear bigger and more imposing. This quote is a suggestion that adults ought to bear in mind how they appear to kids, which kids should be provided the opportunity to value the beauty of adults from a more equal perspective.
