I've never really wanted to be beautiful. There were moments I wished to be desirable, and I suppose that is adjacent to beauty, but beauty does not give others the feeling of an elastic band stretched and released within their abdomens. That was powerful, to compel stirrings like that in other people. I never saw what was powerful about the kind of beauty that arose from symmetry, from clear skin or a pleasing smile.
