"There was never yet fair woman but she made mouths in a glass"

- William Shakespeare

About this Quote

This quote from William Shakespeare's play, "As You Like It," is a reflection on the vanity of females. It recommends that no matter how stunning a female is, she will constantly discover something to slam about her own look. The expression "made mouths in a glass" is a metaphor for looking in a mirror and making a face in reaction to what she sees. This quote indicates that women are never ever truly pleased with their own appeal, and will always discover something to criticize. It likewise suggests that females are overly concerned with their physical appearance, which they are too focused on their own charm. This quote is a suggestion that beauty is subjective, which it is very important to value one's own charm and not be too critical of it.
