"The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens, 20s and 30s and then lose it most of us have it not at all. And that's perfectly okay.

Julie Burchill on Truth

More quotes by Julie Burchill

  • "As a child, I wanted only two things - to be left alone to read my library books, and to get away from my provincial hometown and go to London to be a writer. And I always knew that when I got there, I wanted to make loads of money."

  • "Surely being a Professional Beauty - let alone an ageing one - is one of the most insecure and doomed careers imaginable."
