Motivational Quotes
Beauty
Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man -- the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.
Best Quotes about Beauty
Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.
Aristotle
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Breton, Andre
I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want --an adorable pancreas?
Kerr, Jean
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
Fuller, R. Buckminster
Call for the grandest of all earthly spectacles, what is that? It is the sun going to his rest.
Quincey, Thomas De
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise... that denseness and that strangeness of the world is absurd.
Camus, Albert
There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of
Let there be nothing within thee that is not very beautiful and very gentle, and there will be nothing without thee that is not beautiful and softened by the spell of thy presence.
Allen, James
Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity.
Pindar
The beautiful seems right by force of beauty, and the feeble wrong because of weakness.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
Socrates
Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.
Robbins, Tim
Nothing's beautiful from every point of view.
Horace
The average girl would rather have beauty than brains because she knows the average man can see much better than he can think.
What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.
Sappho
There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.
Baudelaire, Charles
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for instance.
Ruskin, John
In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.
Morley, Christopher
Every beauty which is seen here below by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come
A poor beauty finds more lovers than husbands.
Proverb, English
Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.
Bernstein, Al
Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.
Weil, Simone
The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty, even one's own --even more, one's own, for that has been put in our care and we are responsible for its well-being.
Porter, Katherine Anne
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Horton, Doug
The ideal beauty is a fugitive which is never found.
SeVigne, Marquise De
Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.
Godard, Jean-Luc
Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus, there exists no beautiful woman, none at all, because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.
Klee, Paul
It is generally a feminine eye that first detects the moral deficiencies hidden under the dear deceit of beauty.
Eliot, George
What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Scott Westerfeld
All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory -- of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.
Baudelaire, Charles
What ever beauty may be, it has for its basis order, and for its essence unity.
Andre, Father
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Dickinson, Emily
The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.
Teale, Edwin Way
Few girls are as well shaped as a good horse.
Morley, Christopher
I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?
Jean Kerr
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
Beauty is a primeval phenomenon, which itself never makes its appearance, but the reflection of which is visible in a thousand different utterances of the creative mind, and is as various as nature herself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
Halifax, Edward F.
Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due -- she reminds us too much of a prima donna.
Forster, Edward M.
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank
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 is everywhere a welcome guest.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not fine yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labor to make all one glow or beauty and never cease chiseling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendor of virtue, until you see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine
Plotinus
We know only that we are living in these bodies and have a vague idea, because we have heard it, and because our faith tells us so, that we possess souls. As to what good qualities there may be in our souls, or who dwells within them, or how precious they are, those are things which seldom consider and so we trouble little about carefully preserving the soul's beauty.
Teresa of Avila, St.
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
Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face; it gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures; it is the finest of the fine arts.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
