“There are two kinds of beauty, one being of the soul and the other of the body,
That of the soul is revealed through intelligence, modesty, right conduct,
Generosity and good breeding, all of which qualities may exist in an ugly man;
And when one's gaze is fixed upon beauty of this sort and not upon that of the body,
Love is usually born suddenly and violently.”
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

“All kinds of beauty do not inspire love; there is a kind which only pleases the sight, but does not captivate the affections.”
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
