“What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness.”

Leo Tolstoy

Simplified Meaning:

Many people think that if something or someone is beautiful, they must also be good or kind. This isn’t always true. For example, a very attractive person might not be nice or trustworthy. On the other hand, someone who doesn’t look special might actually have a kind heart and great character. We should not judge others based only on how they look. It’s important to get to know people and see their true qualities instead of assuming that beauty means goodness.
