Beauty

Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled; not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaning it.
- Bataille, Georges
Beauty Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Beauty

1.
Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.
Huxley, Aldous

2.
Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.
Bernstein, Al

3.
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Breton, Andre

4.
Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
Reade, Charles

5.
The loveliest faces are to be seen by moonlight, when one sees half with the eye and half with the fancy.
Proverb, Persian

6.
There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance.
Ray, John

7.
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Horton, Doug

8.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
Gibran, Kahlil

9.
What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Scott Westerfeld

10.
There's something almost perfect in the ugly duckling syndrome. Because a sensitivity is tattooed on a part of you no one else can see but can somehow guess is there.
Stephanie Klein

11.
My heart that was rapt away by the wild cherry blossoms -- will it return to my body when they scatter?
Kotomichi

12.
Things are beautiful if you love them.
Anouilh, Jean

13.
It is generally a feminine eye that first detects the moral deficiencies hidden under the dear deceit of beauty.
Eliot, George

14.
No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?
Dillard, Annie

15.
What has a man's face to do with his character? Can a man of good character help having a disagreeable face?
Ann Radcliffe

16.
Where beauty is worshipped for beauty's sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty.
Huxley, Aldous

17.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

18.
I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!
Augustine, St.

19.
Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.
Rostand, Jean

20.
Being pretty on the inside means you don't hit your brother and you eat all your peas -- that's what my grandma taught me.
Heller, Elizabeth

21.
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

22.
Beauty is truth, truth beauty -- that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
Keats, John

23.
You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen. But if you are beautiful at sixty, it will be your soul's own doing.
Stopes, Marie Carmichael

24.
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Dickinson, Emily

25.
I have found that all ugly things are made by those who strive to make something beautiful, and that all beautiful things are made by those who strive to make something useful.
Wilde, Oscar

26.
We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion.
Margaret Cho

28.
Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.
Robbins, Tim

29.
The beautiful seems right by force of beauty, and the feeble wrong because of weakness.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

30.
The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.
Sand, George

31.
There are various orders of beauty, causing men to make fools of themselves in various styles... but there is one order of beauty which seems made to turn the heads not only of men, but of all intelligent mammals, even of women. It is a beauty like that of kittens, or very small downy ducks making gentle rippling noises with their soft bills, or babies just beginning to toddle and to engage in conscious mischief --a beauty with which you can never be angry, but that you feel ready to crush for inability to comprehend the state of mind into which it throws you.
Eliot, George

32.
Beauty in not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
Gibran, Kahlil

33.
Every trait of beauty may be referred to some virtue, as to innocence, candor, generosity, modesty, or heroism. St. Pierre To cultivate the sense of the beautiful, is one of the most effectual ways of cultivating an appreciation of the divine goodness.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

34.
It is very necessary to have markers of beauty left in a world seemingly bent on making the most evil ugliness.
Sackville-West, Vita

35.
Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you will be beauty. There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail.
Navajo, Edward A.

36.
Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all.
Maugham, W. Somerset

37.
Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
Ruskin, John

38.
Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.
Weil, Simone

39.
Nothing's beautiful from every point of view.
Horace

40.
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank

41.
Like anyone else, there are days I feel beautiful and days I don't, and when I don't, I do something about it.
Cheryl Tiegs

42.
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

43.
Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.
Hubbard, Kin

44.
The ideal beauty is a fugitive which is never found.
SeVigne, Marquise De

45.
I have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!
Picasso, Pablo

46.
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

47.
A poor beauty finds more lovers than husbands.
Proverb, English

48.
In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it. Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty --he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world --alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

49.
Thankfully, beauty is easier to remove than apply, and a swipe of demaquillage in the right direction and you are you once again.
Margaret Cho

50.
Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good; a shining gloss that fadeth suddenly; a flower that dies when it begins to bud; a doubtful good, a gloss, a glass, a flower, lost, faded, broken, dead within an hour. -
Shakespeare, William
