Best Quotes about Beauty
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
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 trait of beauty may be referred to some virtue, as to innocence, candor, generosity, modesty, or heroism. St. Pierre To cultivate the sense of the beautiful, is one of the most effectual ways of cultivating an appreciation of the divine goodness.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Beauty is the still birth of suffering, every woman knows that.
Prager, Emily
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 loveliest faces are to be seen by moonlight, when one sees half with the eye and half with the fancy.
Proverb, Persian
In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.
Morley, Christopher
I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head. [On her beauty pageant days]
Berry, Halle
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
I have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!
Picasso, Pablo
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful.
L'Enclos, Ninon De
Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.
Rostand, Jean
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
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
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
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Breton, Andre
There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.
Baudelaire, Charles
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
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Horton, Doug
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
There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of
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
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
Beauty is a good letter of introduction.
Proverb, Portuguese
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.
Hubbard, Kin
Being pretty on the inside means you don't hit your brother and you eat all your peas -- that's what my grandma taught me.
Heller, Elizabeth
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 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
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
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for instance.
Ruskin, John
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
It is generally a feminine eye that first detects the moral deficiencies hidden under the dear deceit of beauty.
Eliot, George
A beautiful woman should break her mirror early.
Gracian, Baltasar
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
The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
Halifax, Edward F.
My heart that was rapt away by the wild cherry blossoms -- will it return to my body when they scatter?
Kotomichi
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
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.
One evening I sat Beauty on my knees --And I found her bitter --And I reviled her.
Rimbaud, Arthur
Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity.
Pindar
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
By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.
Howard, Vernon
The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.
Teale, Edwin Way
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
How goodness heightens beauty!
More, Hannah
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, unaccompanied by virtue, is as a flower without perfume.
Proverb, French
The flowers anew, returning seasons bring! But beauty faded has no second spring.
Philips, Ambrose
