Beauty

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
Beauty Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Beauty

1.
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

2.
What has a man's face to do with his character? Can a man of good character help having a disagreeable face?
Ann Radcliffe

3.
The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.
Havelock Ellis

4.
Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork -- reading, writing, thinking--can.
Brown, Helen Gurley

5.
Beauty and seduction is nature's tool for survival, because we will protect what we love.
Louie Schwartzberg

6.
A poor beauty finds more lovers than husbands.
Proverb, English

7.
Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.
Weil, Simone

8.
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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
I have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!
Picasso, Pablo

12.
Beauty in not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
Gibran, Kahlil

13.
The beauty seen, is partly in him who sees it.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

14.
To me, fair friend, you never can be old. For as you were when first your eye I eyed. Such seems your beauty still.
Shakespeare, William

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers. What we call art is a game.
Paz, Octavio

18.
How goodness heightens beauty!
More, Hannah

19.
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

20.
Beauty is a good letter of introduction.
Proverb, Portuguese

21.
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

22.
The idea that happiness could have a share in beauty would be too much of a good thing.
Benjamin, Walter

23.
The pursuit of beauty is much more dangerous nonsense than the pursuit of truth or goodness, because it affords a stronger temptation to the ego.
Frye, Northrop

24.
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
Lubbock, Sir John

25.
Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.
Bernstein, Al

26.
One evening I sat Beauty on my knees --And I found her bitter --And I reviled her.
Rimbaud, Arthur

27.
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

28.
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

29.
The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
Halifax, Edward F.

30.
Beauty is the still birth of suffering, every woman knows that.
Prager, Emily

31.
Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.
Wilde, Oscar

32.
Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the infinite.
Bancroft, George

33.
The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.
Maugham, W. Somerset

34.
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

35.
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Immermann

36.
Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind.
Spenser, Edmund

37.
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

38.
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch

39.
Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity.
Pindar

40.
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Horton, Doug

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.
People often say that'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,'and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
Salma Hayek

43.
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

44.
Order is the shape upon which beauty depends.
Pearl Buck

45.
The loveliest faces are to be seen by moonlight, when one sees half with the eye and half with the fancy.
Proverb, Persian

46.
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful.
L'Enclos, Ninon De

47.
The ideal beauty is a fugitive which is never found.
SeVigne, Marquise De

48.
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for instance.
Ruskin, John

49.
There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.
Baudelaire, Charles

50.
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.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
