Best Quotes about Beauty
All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory -- of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.
Baudelaire, Charles
The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.
Teale, Edwin Way
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
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
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
Fuller, R. Buckminster
A poor beauty finds more lovers than husbands.
Proverb, English
To me, fair friend, you never can be old. For as you were when first your eye I eyed. Such seems your beauty still.
Shakespeare, William
The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle
Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.
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
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
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
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
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank
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)
What has a man's face to do with his character? Can a man of good character help having a disagreeable face?
Ann Radcliffe
Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork -- reading, writing, thinking--can.
Brown, Helen Gurley
Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from the eternal.
Dante Alighieri
Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.
Anouilh, Jean
What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Scott Westerfeld
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
Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.
Rostand, Jean
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
Blessington, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of
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
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
Reade, Charles
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Breton, Andre
Beauty is a good letter of introduction.
Proverb, Portuguese
The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
Halifax, Edward F.
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
How goodness heightens beauty!
More, Hannah
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for instance.
Ruskin, John
Few girls are as well shaped as a good horse.
Morley, Christopher
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Immermann
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
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
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.
Call for the grandest of all earthly spectacles, what is that? It is the sun going to his rest.
Quincey, Thomas De
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 rests on necessities.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity.
Pindar
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
I spent a lot of time with a crown on my head. [On her beauty pageant days]
Berry, Halle
Things are beautiful if you love them.
Anouilh, Jean
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
The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.
Baudelaire, Charles
