"As we grow old, the beauty steals inward"
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
About this Quote
This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson speaks with the idea that as we age, our charm does not always lessen, but rather shifts and modifications. Instead of being something that is outwardly noticeable, beauty ends up being something that is internal and more deeply rooted. It is something that is skilled and felt, rather than seen. As we age, we gain wisdom, understanding, and experience that can be seen as lovely. We likewise acquire a higher appreciation for the appeal of life, and the appeal of the world around us. Our charm is no longer something that is merely skin deep, however something that is far more significant and profound.
