The quotes?! ⋆˙⟡

‘l’am thinking of beauty again, how some things are hunted because we have deemed them beautiful. If, relative to the history of our planet, an individual life is so short, a blink of an eye, as they say, then to be gorgeous, even from the day you're born to the day you die, is to be gorgeous only briefly. (..) To be gorgeous, you must first be seen, but to be seen allows you to be hunted.’
