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
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
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Immermann
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
A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face; it gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures; it is the finest of the fine arts.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.
Robbins, Tim
The idea that happiness could have a share in beauty would be too much of a good thing.
Benjamin, Walter
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.
Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Beauty, unaccompanied by virtue, is as a flower without perfume.
Proverb, French
The esthete stands in the same relation to beauty as the pornographer stands to love, and the politician stands to life.
Kraus, Karl
The loveliest faces are to be seen by moonlight, when one sees half with the eye and half with the fancy.
Proverb, Persian
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
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
By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.
Howard, Vernon
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.
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
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
Nothing's beautiful from every point of view.
Horace
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
The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.
Bejar, Hada
Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
Socrates
The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.
Havelock Ellis
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
Lubbock, Sir John
Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.
Huxley, Aldous
Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
Reade, Charles
The average girl would rather have beauty than brains because she knows the average man can see much better than he can think.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
Gibran, Kahlil
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
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for instance.
Ruskin, John
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
The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
Halifax, Edward F.
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Dickinson, Emily
Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the infinite.
Bancroft, George
Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.
Anouilh, Jean
I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!
Augustine, St.
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank
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
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
Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.
Rostand, Jean
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful.
L'Enclos, Ninon De
There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.
Baudelaire, Charles
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all.
Maugham, W. Somerset
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
What has a man's face to do with his character? Can a man of good character help having a disagreeable face?
Ann Radcliffe
