Beauty

The criterion of true beauty is that it increases on examination; if false, that it lessens. There is therefore, something in true beauty that corresponds with right reason, and is not the mere creation of fancy.
- Greville, Lord
Beauty Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Beauty

1.
Beauty rests on necessities.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

2.
The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.
Teale, Edwin Way

3.
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Horton, Doug

4.
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
Lubbock, Sir John

5.
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

6.
The beauty myth moves for men as a mirage; its power lies in its ever-receding nature. When the gap is closed, the lover embraces only his own disillusion.
Wolf, Naomi

7.
O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.
Marlowe, Christopher

8.
Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.
Bernstein, Al

9.
One evening I sat Beauty on my knees --And I found her bitter --And I reviled her.
Rimbaud, Arthur

10.
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

11.
Beauty is the still birth of suffering, every woman knows that.
Prager, Emily

12.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

13.
Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.
Rostand, Jean

14.
My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful; but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful.
Wey, Hermann

15.
Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty --excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable --should persist after the beauty was gone.
Arnim, Mary

16.
The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
Halifax, Edward F.

17.
The ideal beauty is a fugitive which is never found.
SeVigne, Marquise De

18.
In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.
Morley, Christopher

19.
Call for the grandest of all earthly spectacles, what is that? It is the sun going to his rest.
Quincey, Thomas De

20.
Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
Ruskin, John

21.
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

22.
Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's scepter, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.
Wollstonecraft, Mary

23.
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

24.
Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
Camus, Albert

25.
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Immermann

26.
What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.
Sappho

27.
Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
Plotinus

28.
Few girls are as well shaped as a good horse.
Morley, Christopher

29.
The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.
Havelock Ellis

30.
If you have never seen beauty in a moment of suffering, you have never seen beauty at all. If you have never seen joy in a beautiful face, you have never seen joy at all.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

31.
The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.
Maugham, W. Somerset

32.
By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.
Howard, Vernon

33.
Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork -- reading, writing, thinking--can.
Brown, Helen Gurley

34.
The idea that happiness could have a share in beauty would be too much of a good thing.
Benjamin, Walter

35.
I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

36.
The beauty seen, is partly in him who sees it.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

37.
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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

39.
Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers. What we call art is a game.
Paz, Octavio

40.
Beauty, unaccompanied by virtue, is as a flower without perfume.
Proverb, French

41.
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

42.
Beauty is a good letter of introduction.
Proverb, Portuguese

43.
To emphasize only the beautiful seems to me to be like a mathematical system that only concerns itself with positive numbers.
Klee, Paul

44.
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

45.
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful.
L'Enclos, Ninon De

46.
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

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

48.
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.

49.
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

50.
Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.
Huxley, Aldous
