"Moralists have heaped so much criticism on women! Among the main
reproaches made is their wish to be beautiful. And yet, it is not
a crime; on the contrary. If women did not seek beauty, they
would have brought generations of terribly ugly children into the
world. It is the mother who passes beauty on to her children; she
is the one who shapes them. This is why, throughout the time she
is carrying them, she must wish for beauty for them. All those
moralists who have condemned a woman’s wish to be beautiful have
not understood that it is the task of a woman, of a mother, to
bring beauty to the earth. Men do not think much about
cultivating beauty – they have other concerns. So if women didn’t
think about it!…
Women are right, therefore, to seek beauty, so that they can
pass it on to their children. They should understand, however,
where and how to look for true beauty, spiritual beauty, so that
one day they may bring heaven down to earth through their
children."
