About this Quote

This quote by Fay Weldon speaks with the idea that beauty is a fleeting thing. Women are born with beauty, but it is something that can be taken away in time. Weldon is recommending that appeal is a gift from nature, but it is not something that can be kept forever. This quote is a pointer that appeal is something that must be valued and taken pleasure in while it lasts. It is likewise a suggestion that appeal is not the only thing that matters in life. Females need to focus on developing their inner beauty and strength, as these are things that will last a life time. Weldon's quote is a pointer to appreciate the beauty that nature has actually offered us, and to keep in mind that it is not the only thing that matters.
