Motivational Quotes

Beauty

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 Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Beauty

1.
Things are beautiful if you love them.
Anouilh, Jean

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Immermann

7.
The beauty seen, is partly in him who sees it.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

8.
It is generally a feminine eye that first detects the moral deficiencies hidden under the dear deceit of beauty.
Eliot, George

9.
The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

10.
The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.
Maugham, W. Somerset

11.
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle

12.
A poor beauty finds more lovers than husbands.
Proverb, English

13.
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch

14.
The line of beauty is the line of perfect economy.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Call for the grandest of all earthly spectacles, what is that? It is the sun going to his rest.
Quincey, Thomas De

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork -- reading, writing, thinking--can.
Brown, Helen Gurley

22.
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank

23.
What ever beauty may be, it has for its basis order, and for its essence unity.
Andre, Father

24.
There are various orders of beauty, causing men to make fools of themselves in various styles... but there is one order of beauty which seems made to turn the heads not only of men, but of all intelligent mammals, even of women. It is a beauty like that of kittens, or very small downy ducks making gentle rippling noises with their soft bills, or babies just beginning to toddle and to engage in conscious mischief --a beauty with which you can never be angry, but that you feel ready to crush for inability to comprehend the state of mind into which it throws you.
Eliot, George

25.
Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
Reade, Charles

26.
The esthete stands in the same relation to beauty as the pornographer stands to love, and the politician stands to life.
Kraus, Karl

27.
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)

28.
Beauty. The power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.
Bierce, Ambrose

29.
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

30.
Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind.
Spenser, Edmund

31.
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

32.
There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.
Baudelaire, Charles

33.
Beauty is the promise of happiness.
Stendhal, Henri B.

34.
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

35.
The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety.
Mendelssohn, Felix

36.
Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion.
Margaret Cho

37.
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

38.
Beauty in not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
Gibran, Kahlil

39.
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

40.
Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

41.
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

42.
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

43.
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
Lubbock, Sir John

44.
Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers. What we call art is a game.
Paz, Octavio

45.
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

46.
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

47.
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Breton, Andre

48.
Few girls are as well shaped as a good horse.
Morley, Christopher

49.
The idea that happiness could have a share in beauty would be too much of a good thing.
Benjamin, Walter

50.
Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.
Robbins, Tim
