Quote by Jessie Burton, Medusa

“When beauty's assigned you as a gir it somehow becomes the essenceof your being. It takes over everthing else you might be. When you're a boy, it never dominates who you can be”

“I've sequenced the questions for maximum speed of elimination,’ I explained. ‘I believe I can eliminate most women in less than forty seconds. Then you can choose the topic of discussion for the remaining time.’ ‘But then it won’t matter,’ said Frances. ‘I’ll have been eliminated.’ ‘Only as a potential partner. We may still be able to have an interesting discussion.’ ‘But I’ll have been eliminated.’ I nodded. ‘Do you smoke?’ ‘Occasionally,’ she said. I put the questionnaire away. ‘Excellent.’ I was pleased that my question sequencing was working so well. We could have wasted time talking about ice-cream flavours and make-up only to find that she smoked. Needless to say, smoking was not negotiable. ‘No more questions. What would you like to discuss?”

“So I think that beauty is something that is not only unexplainable but something that doesn't expand the desire to explain. It is something evident, your inspiration stops, you are struck by the beauty. I think that beauty is incompatible with the concept of explanation or ownership. It should be contemplated, valued, and observed as a distance. If you approach too close to beauty , this image disappears. So, I think that beauty is to be observed at a distance; it is something unexplainable which doesn't inspire the desire to possess, it is something that overwhelms you.”
