A thing of beauty: 12 quotes that expand the boundaries of beauty
Beauty lies in all, and that goes beyond our understanding of the conventional sense of beauty. Here are some quotes that exemplify this.
With increased awareness and dissemination, years of writing, Instagram videos, social media posts and campaigns, and efforts against one set of beauty standards, are finally bearing fruit. People, brands, and corporations alike are finally realising that these unrealistic standards of beauty are causing harm to people.
