Beauty Quotes
-
The secret of the nobility and beauty of great ladies lies in the art with which they can shed their veils. In such situations, they become like ancient statues. If they kept the merest scarf on, they would be lewd. Your bourgeois woman will always try to cover her nakedness.
Honore de Balzac
-
Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient and ever new! Late have I loved you! And, behold, you were within me, and I out of myself, and there I searched for you.
Saint Augustine
-
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.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
The genitals themselves have not undergone the development of the rest of the human form in the direction of beauty.
Sigmund Freud
-
The shapes of letters do not derive their beauty from any sensual or sentimental reminiscences. No one can say that the O’s roundness appeals to us only because it is like that of an apple or of a girl’s breast or of the full moon. Letters are things, not pictures of things.
Eric Gill
-
Must beauty blossom, rooted in decay,
And night devour its flaming hues alway?
Clark Ashton Smith
-
I think we live in a world where the most important thing is daily life: sharing a space with your family, making meals, being with your people. It's not only the idea of privacy, it's the beauty of the moment, at a time in the world when everything goes really fast - too fast.
Ana Tijoux
-
Everything changes, but beauty remains.
Kelly Clarkson
-
Expressions are many but Thy loveliness is one;
Each of us refers to that single Beauty.
Fakhr-al-Din Iraqi
-
There was that in the atmosphere of San Salvatore which produced active-mindedness in all except the natives. They, as before, whatever the beauty around them, whatever the prodigal seasons did, remained immune from thoughts other than those they were accustomed to. All their lives they had seen, year by year, the amazing recurrent spectacle of April in the gardens, and custom had made it invisible to them. They were as blind to it, as unconscious of it, as Domenico’s dog asleep in the sun. The visitors could not be blind to it—it was too arresting after London in a particularly wet and gloomy March. Suddenly to be transported to that place where the air was so still that it held its breath, where the light was so golden that the most ordinary things were transfigured—to be transported into that delicate warmth.
Elizabeth von Arnim
-
The beauty of personal authenticity can compensate for the lost beauty of our youth.
Marianne Williamson
-
Beauty is not caused, it is; Chase it and it ceases, Chase it not and it abides.
Emily Dickinson
-
I'm stupid, I'm ugly, I'm dumb, I smell. Did I mention I'm stupid?

The beauty, the spirit of Germany, its sun, moon, stars, rocks, seas and rivers can never be expressed this way..
Caspar David Friedrich
-
The ruling class isn't dissatisfied: they are healthy, well-fed, live in beauty, enjoy their own importance: fun-loving cannibals.
Marge Piercy
-
I am still yours, Allie, my queen, my timeless beauty. You are, and always have been, the best thing in my life.
Nicholas Sparks
-
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
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Real beauty is never vain.
Ellen Buckingham Mathews
