Best Quotes about Beauty
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
Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
Reade, Charles
Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind.
Spenser, Edmund
What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.
Sappho
Things are beautiful if you love them.
Anouilh, Jean
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
It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.
O'Hara, Frank
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Horton, Doug
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 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
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
Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.
Huxley, Aldous
The esthete stands in the same relation to beauty as the pornographer stands to love, and the politician stands to life.
Kraus, Karl
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 whatever gives joy.
Nibley, Hugh
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
Beauty is a harmonious relation between something in our nature and the quality of the object which delights us.
Pascal, Blaise
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
Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.
Godard, Jean-Luc
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)
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 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
It is generally a feminine eye that first detects the moral deficiencies hidden under the dear deceit of beauty.
Eliot, George
The beauty seen, is partly in him who sees it.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
I have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!
Picasso, Pablo
To emphasize only the beautiful seems to me to be like a mathematical system that only concerns itself with positive numbers.
Klee, Paul
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
What ever beauty may be, it has for its basis order, and for its essence unity.
Andre, Father
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
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
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 certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
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
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
Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
Ruskin, John
O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.
Marlowe, Christopher
Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity.
Pindar
The flowers anew, returning seasons bring! But beauty faded has no second spring.
Philips, Ambrose
One evening I sat Beauty on my knees --And I found her bitter --And I reviled her.
Rimbaud, Arthur
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
Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.
Robbins, Tim
Truth exists for the wise, beauty for the feeling heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
Socrates
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank
My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful; but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful.
Wey, Hermann
