Beauty Quotes
-
Before examining this more carefully and investigating its consequences, I want to dwell for a moment in the contemplation of God, to ponder His attributes in me, to see, admire, and adore the beauty of His boundless light, insofar as my clouded insight allows. Believing that the supreme happiness of the other life consists wholly of the contemplation of divine greatness, I now find that through less perfect contemplation of the same sort I can gain the greatest joy available in this life.
Rene Descartes
-
In all things that live there are certain irregularities, and deficiencies which are not only signs of life, but sources of beauty. No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry.
John Ruskin
-
Exuberance is beauty.
William Blake
-
I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty.
Amelia Earhart

“I gained your love
then lost my mind.
what a bargain.
I love you impossibly
loving you,
my heart is holding more than it can
loving you,
is making me more than I am
your beauty is more than what my soul can bear
When I am dying of thirst
you are water
When I am drowning to death
you are breath
I love you impossibly
I love you impossibly
I'd trade my limbs to hold you
I'd trade my eyes to see you”
Amir Sulaiman

I am not an autobiographical writer. I'll take little elements here and there from things that I've actually experienced-counting eyelashes on a sleeping beauty, for example.

Translation from one language to another is like viewing a piece of tapestry on the wrong side where though the figures are distinguishable yet there are so many ends and threads that the beauty and exactness of the work is obscured.
Miguel de Cervantes
-
The way God squandered Himself had always hurt her; and annoyed her too. The sky full of wings and only the shepherds awake. That golden voice speaking and only a few fishermen there to hear; and perhaps some of the words He spoke carried away on the wind or lost in the sound of the waves lapping against the side of the boat. A thousand blossoms shimmering over the orchard, each a world of wonder all to itself, and then the whole thing blown away on a southwest gale as though the delicate little worlds were of no value at all. Well, of all the spendthrifts, she would think and then pull herself up. It was not for her to criticize the ways of Almighty God; if He liked to go to all that trouble over the snowflakes, millions and millions of them, their intricate patterns too small to be seen by human eyes, and melting as soon as made, that was His affair and not hers. All she could do about it was to catch in her window, and save from entire waste, as much of the squandered beauty as she could.
Elizabeth Goudge

I learned to see beauty in everything and ugliness in everything. I developed a very honest perspective.

The female body is something that's so beautiful. I wish women would be proud of their bodies and not diss other women for being proud of theirs.
