This Isabelle Adjani quote “I have no fear of being less beautiful, I've always been afraid of not being beautiful" stands out because it makes a distinction between losing some of one's beauty and feeling that beauty has disappeared altogether. Rather than presenting beauty as a simple matter of appearance, the quote by Isabelle Adjani points toward something deeper: the fear of how a person may be perceived when an image they have long been associated with begins to change. The quote is widely attributed to the French actress Isabelle Adjani.
