This has become one of the most meaningful quotes that I have come across, especially as I deal with the struggle of being considered beautiful in society. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross explains that beauty relies on a number of different factors; it isn't solely determined by physical appearance. I have found this to be true in my perception of beauty with others. When I think of the most beautiful people I know, I see the kind faces of my mother and grandmother. Their strength and compassion has made them so attractive that their physical appearance is simply a reflection of their beautiful personalities. It is important to remember this as we deal with society's standards of beauty, so that we don't forget what makes us truly beautiful
