This Caught my Eye

One thing that fascinates me about the internet is that you never know what is going to catch your eye.
A couple of seconds ago I came across this quotation
“If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.” - Dorothy Parker
This sent me off searching to see what else she had to say. This is the first one I found
“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”
- Dorothy Parker
Both of these made me smile a wry smile as they both rang true.
I thought I would share them with you to see if you thought the same.
The photo has nothing to do with this post but I think it is beautiful and it too made me smile looking at it but this time not a wry smile and so I thought I would add it to this post :D

@Jessicalynnt I must admit that I like the way the blurred background makes the image in the foreground pop.

@crazyhorseladycx It is just a weed/wild flower that has gone to seed and is about to have that seed dispersed by the wind. Glad you liked the quotes :D

Hummm, since I don't know many people with plenty of money I can't really say what they're like, I'm guessing probably as varied as poor folk.
As for beauty or lack there of I'd say both can go to the bone, but many of those who used unnatural means to be "beautiful" were ugly to the bone to begin with.
