" "Remember that there are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body. That of the soul displays its radiance in intelligence, in chastity, in good conduct, in generosity, and in good breeding, and all these qualities may exist in an ugly man. And when we focus our attention upon that beauty, not upon the physical, love generally arises with great violence and intensity. I am well aware that I am not handsome, but I also know that I am not deformed, and it is enough for a man of worth not to be a monster for him to be dearly loved, provided he has those spiritual endowments I have spoken of.

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.

Es de vidrio la mujer; pero no se ha de probar si se puede o no quebrar, porque todo podría ser. Y es más fácil el quebrarse, y no es cordura ponerse a peligro de romperse lo que no puede soldarse. Y en esta opinión estén todos, y en razón la fundo: que si hay Dánaes en el mundo, hay pluvias de oro también.
