"it is amazing how complete is the delusion that
beauty is goodness.
a handsome woman talks nonsense, you listen and hear not nonsense but cleverness.
she says and does horrid things, and you see only charm.
and if a handsome woman does not say stupid or horrid things, you at once persuade yourself that she is wonderfully clever and moral."

-Leo Tolstoy (( The Kreutzer Sonata ))
