Meaning of the quote "Beauty is a short lived tyranny"?
-
What is the meaning of this quote (by Socrates)? I looked it up and found one meaning that made sense about beauty being a tyranny, but it didn't explain much about the 'short-lived' part. I am very curious about the meaning(s) of this quote. All interpretations welcome..

Answer:
I have never heard it before but.... I think it means being beautiful brings its own problems, that people are attracted and influenced by a person`s beauty, more than they are about their character or personality. Beauty is only skin deep, or `you don`t judge a book by its cover` have a similar meanings.
