"In Hollywood, the women are all peaches. It makes one long for an apple occasionally"
- W. Somerset Maugham
About this Quote
This quote by W. Somerset Maugham is a commentary on the homogeneity of Hollywood. He is recommending that the women in Hollywood are all the exact same, like peaches, which this can be tedious and uninspiring. He is suggesting that it would be rejuvenating to see something various, like an apple, which is a metaphor for a female who is distinct and stands apart from the crowd. This quote is a tip that Hollywood should pursue diversity and addition, which it is very important to celebrate the differences between individuals. It is also a tip that it is very important to appreciate the beauty of individuality and to recognize that everyone has something special to provide.
