I enjoy the company of attractive women.
Hear, O seeker of wisdom, the words once uttered by John DeLorean: “I enjoy the company of attractive women.” At first glance, it seems but a simple confession, a boast woven of vanity and desire. Yet beneath its surface lies a glimpse into the heart of a man who was both a maker of dreams and a prisoner of his own appetites. The ancients remind us: often, the way a man speaks of women reveals the way he perceives power, beauty, and himself.
For attraction has ever been a force that shapes destiny. The Greeks told of Paris of Troy, who, lured by the beauty of Helen, cast nations into war and cities into ash. Likewise, DeLorean, an architect of gleaming machines, sought not only to master steel and engine, but also to surround himself with radiance in human form. His words unveil the truth that men of ambition often desire the world not only to honor their craft, but also to adorn their lives with symbols of beauty.
But beware, for what seems harmless delight may become a snare. Company taken for pleasure can blind the heart to higher duties. The tale of Antony and Cleopatra reminds us: the general who once shook the earth with his legions was undone by the charm of a queen. His empire fractured, his honor wavered, because he allowed desire to rule where reason should have governed. In this we see reflected the folly hidden in DeLorean’s words—a reminder that unchecked indulgence may topple even the greatest of builders.
Yet, let us not scorn the confession entirely. To delight in the presence of women, to honor their beauty, has always been part of the human condition. Even Solomon, in his wisdom, sang of the loveliness of women, comparing them to lilies of the valley and towers of strength. To acknowledge attraction is no sin, but to worship it as one’s crown—that is the danger that stains glory with weakness.
Therefore, O children of time, learn from these words. DeLorean’s quote is less a teaching than a mirror of the human soul: it shows both the joy of companionship and the peril of vanity. Beauty may inspire, but it must never rule; desire may quicken the heart, but it must never enslave the will. Let this be the wisdom passed down: honor beauty, yet do not let it bind you, for the true measure of greatness is not in what you desire, but in what you master.

I guess there's nothing wrong with appreciating the company of attractive people, but the quote makes me think—why is attraction often limited to the physical? Can attraction go beyond that to include intellect, humor, or shared values? It's almost like reducing people to a superficial standard, but maybe that’s just how the quote was meant to be interpreted. What does everyone else think about this?

Isn't it a bit odd to phrase it like this? Sure, enjoying the company of attractive people might be a common sentiment, but should we be more specific? Is it about their personality, too? If it's just their looks, does it undermine deeper qualities that would make the company truly enjoyable in the long run? I'd like to know how DeLorean views the role of personality in these situations.

This quote brings up an interesting question about attraction. While there's nothing wrong with enjoying someone's company because they're attractive, it leaves me wondering—what happens when someone doesn't fit conventional standards of beauty? Does that diminish their value as a person? I think it’s essential to reflect on how much importance we place on looks versus personal connection when evaluating relationships.

I can see how someone like John DeLorean might feel this way, but it makes me think—what happens when physical attraction fades or isn't the main focus? Are meaningful connections with people only based on outward appearances, or do we need more than just physical attraction to have fulfilling relationships? This quote gives me the feeling of a superficial mindset, even if it's not intended that way.

It's interesting how John DeLorean states this so casually. It makes me wonder, though—does the idea of 'attractive' women here reflect a deeper value placed on physical appearance? Shouldn't true companionship go beyond looks? Are we, as a society, too fixated on physical beauty when forming connections with others? It feels like a shallow basis for personal enjoyment, but maybe that's just me overthinking it.
