Best Quotes about Beauty
Beauty is a harmonious relation between something in our nature and the quality of the object which delights us.
Pascal, Blaise
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Breton, Andre
I have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!
Picasso, Pablo
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
There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance.
Ray, John
O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.
Marlowe, Christopher
Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.
Huxley, Aldous
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
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful.
L'Enclos, Ninon De
Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
Henry Miller
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
Truth exists for the wise, beauty for the feeling heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Beauty. The power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.
Bierce, Ambrose
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
Even with all my wrinkles! I am beautiful!
Delaney, Bessie
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
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for instance.
Ruskin, John
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
Beauty is the promise of happiness.
Stendhal, Henri B.
The beauty seen, is partly in him who sees it.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.
Teale, Edwin Way
Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting; she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.
Nathan, Robert
I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!
Augustine, St.
What has a man's face to do with his character? Can a man of good character help having a disagreeable face?
Ann Radcliffe
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
Call for the grandest of all earthly spectacles, what is that? It is the sun going to his rest.
Quincey, Thomas De
There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of
My heart that was rapt away by the wild cherry blossoms -- will it return to my body when they scatter?
Kotomichi
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
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
The average girl would rather have beauty than brains because she knows the average man can see much better than he can think.
Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.
Anouilh, Jean
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
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
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
Things are beautiful if you love them.
Anouilh, Jean
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
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 always promises, but never gives anything.
Weil, Simone
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
The line of beauty is the line of perfect economy.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Eye contact is the best accessory.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
Socrates
Beauty and seduction is nature's tool for survival, because we will protect what we love.
Louie Schwartzberg
The esthete stands in the same relation to beauty as the pornographer stands to love, and the politician stands to life.
Kraus, Karl
The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety.
Mendelssohn, Felix
Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.
Bernstein, Al
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
What is most beautiful in virile men is sometimes feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine.
Sontag, Susan
There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.
Baudelaire, Charles
