"Many women long for what eludes them, and like not what is offered them"

- Ovid

About this Quote

This quote by Ovid talks to the idea that many ladies are not content with what they have and rather long for something that is out of reach. It recommends that ladies typically have a desire for something that is unattainable, and that they are not pleased with what is readily available to them. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the limited opportunities offered to ladies in Ovid's time, or it might be viewed as a reflection of the human condition in basic. Regardless, it is a reminder that we ought to make every effort to appreciate what we have and not be too concentrated on what we don't have. It is essential to acknowledge that we can't always get what we want, which we should be grateful for what we do have.
