Best Quotes about Beauty
Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.
Hubbard, Kin
Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity.
Pindar
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 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
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
O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.
Marlowe, Christopher
The idea that happiness could have a share in beauty would be too much of a good thing.
Benjamin, Walter
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Dickinson, Emily
My heart that was rapt away by the wild cherry blossoms -- will it return to my body when they scatter?
Kotomichi
Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers. What we call art is a game.
Paz, Octavio
Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
Ruskin, John
Beauty is whatever gives joy.
Nibley, Hugh
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.
Beauty rests on necessities.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
Socrates
Beauty is the still birth of suffering, every woman knows that.
Prager, Emily
Beauty is the promise of happiness.
Stendhal, Henri B.
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
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
Nothing's beautiful from every point of view.
Horace
A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life.
Mumford, Lewis
There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of
What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.
Sappho
How goodness heightens beauty!
More, Hannah
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
Things are beautiful if you love them.
Anouilh, Jean
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle
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 and seduction is nature's tool for survival, because we will protect what we love.
Louie Schwartzberg
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
Just because you are blind, and unable to see my beauty doesn't mean it does not exist.
Margaret Cho
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 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
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank
The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
To emphasize only the beautiful seems to me to be like a mathematical system that only concerns itself with positive numbers.
Klee, Paul
What has a man's face to do with his character? Can a man of good character help having a disagreeable face?
Ann Radcliffe
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?
Kerr, Jean
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
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
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Beauty is the mark God sets on virtue. Every natural action is graceful; every heroic act is also decent, and causes the place and the bystanders to shine.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature.
Paglia, Camille
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
Lubbock, Sir John
The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
Halifax, Edward F.
The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.
Teale, Edwin Way
If there is one thing worse than being an ugly duckling in a house of swans, it's having the swans pretend there's no difference.
Teena Booth
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
