"The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul"

- George Sand

About this Quote

In this quote, George Sand recommends that the beauty that we see with our physical eyes is only momentary and fleeting. It is simply a short-lived magic that captures our attention. However, the real charm that touches our soul and leaves a lasting effect is not constantly visible to the naked eye. Our physical eyes may deceive us, however the eye of the soul sees beyond the surface area and recognizes the true essence of charm. Sand advises us that true charm lies within and can not be fully valued by our physical senses. It is a much deeper, more profound experience that transcends the superficiality of the minute.
