Best Quotes about Beauty
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
The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
Fuller, R. Buckminster
Where beauty is worshipped for beauty's sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty.
Huxley, Aldous
Every beauty which is seen here below by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come
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
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
The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety.
Mendelssohn, Felix
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 will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Breton, Andre
The loveliest faces are to be seen by moonlight, when one sees half with the eye and half with the fancy.
Proverb, Persian
Beauty is the still birth of suffering, every woman knows that.
Prager, Emily
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)
I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
John Constable
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
What has a man's face to do with his character? Can a man of good character help having a disagreeable face?
Ann Radcliffe
The beautiful seems right by force of beauty, and the feeble wrong because of weakness.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle
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
I have found that all ugly things are made by those who strive to make something beautiful, and that all beautiful things are made by those who strive to make something useful.
Wilde, Oscar
Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
Reade, Charles
It is generally a feminine eye that first detects the moral deficiencies hidden under the dear deceit of beauty.
Eliot, George
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
Lubbock, Sir John
The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.
Bejar, Hada
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Dickinson, Emily
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Horton, Doug
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.
Weil, Simone
Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the infinite.
Bancroft, George
Truth exists for the wise, beauty for the feeling heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The beauty seen, is partly in him who sees it.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
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 line of beauty is the line of perfect economy.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason.
John Cage
Beauty is all very well at first sight; but whoever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?
Shaw, George Bernard
Beauty rests on necessities.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
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.
Remember if you marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which perchance, will neither last nor please thee one year: and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.
Raleigh, Sir Walter
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
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.
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
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
How goodness heightens beauty!
More, Hannah
Few girls are as well shaped as a good horse.
Morley, Christopher
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
Gibran, Kahlil
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
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
