Motivational Quotes
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.

Best Quotes about Beauty
Beauty is a good letter of introduction.

The ability to see beauty is the beginning of our moral sensibility. What we believe is beautiful we will not wantonly destroy.
Reverend Sean Parker Dennison
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
Halifax, Edward F.
Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from the eternal.
Dante Alighieri
In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.
Morley, Christopher
What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Scott Westerfeld
Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.
Anouilh, Jean
Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.
Hubbard, Kin
Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.
Robbins, Tim
Few girls are as well shaped as a good horse.
Morley, Christopher
Beauty in not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
Gibran, Kahlil
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
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.
Weil, Simone
Even with all my wrinkles! I am beautiful!
Delaney, Bessie
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Horton, Doug
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
Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead. [Song Of Solomon 4:1]
Bible
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for instance.
Ruskin, John
The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Beauty. The power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.
Bierce, Ambrose
There have been many definitions of beauty in art. What is it? Beauty is what the untrained eyes consider abominable.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De
Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity.
Pindar
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful.
L'Enclos, Ninon De
The line of beauty is the line of perfect economy.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The average girl would rather have beauty than brains because she knows the average man can see much better than he can think.
I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head. [On her beauty pageant days]
Berry, Halle
It is very necessary to have markers of beauty left in a world seemingly bent on making the most evil ugliness.
Sackville-West, Vita
Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
I have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!
Picasso, Pablo
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
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
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
There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.
Baudelaire, Charles
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
Lubbock, Sir John
It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.
O'Hara, Frank
The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.
Bejar, Hada
Nothing's beautiful from every point of view.
Horace
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
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
The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.
Havelock Ellis
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
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
What is most beautiful in virile men is sometimes feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine.
Sontag, Susan
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.
