A hundred eyes were fixed on her, and half as many hearts lost to her

Max Beerbohm was a renowned English essayist, caricaturist, and parodist known for his wit, humor, and keen observations of society. His works often satirized the upper class and the pretensions of the literary and artistic elite of his time. One of his most famous quotes, "A hundred eyes were fixed on her, and half as many hearts lost to her," perfectly encapsulates his ability to capture the essence of human nature and social dynamics in a few succinct words.
