"We outgrow love like other things and put it in a drawer, till it an antique fashion shows like costumes grandsires wore."

Previous Quote

The idea of beauty which man creates for himself imprints itself on his whole attire, crumples or stiffens his dress, rounds off or squares his gesture, and in the long run even ends by subtly penetrating the very features of his face. Man ends by looking like his ideal self. These engravings can be translated either into beauty or ugliness; in one direction, they become caricatures, in the other, antique statues.

— Charles Baudelaire
