Beauty Quotes
-
True beauty is in the mind; and the expression of the features depends more upon the moral nature than most persons are accustomed to think.
Arthur Frederick Saunders

William Shenstone
-
Beauty, strength, youth, are flowers but fading seen;
Duty, faith, love, are roots, and ever green.

Paul Klee

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
William Wordsworth

What do those of us who aren't tall, flawlessly sculpted adolescents do?
Answer: Console ourselves with how relative beauty can be...

wit, curiosity, sweetness, passion, talent and grace.
Diane Ackerman

Rumi

I've been taught that love is beautiful and kind, but it isn't like that at all. It is beautiful, but it's a terrible beauty, a ruthless one, and you fall-you fall, and the thing is- The thing is you want to. You don't care what's coming you just want who your heart beats for.
Elizabeth Scott

Betty Neels

Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty - excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable - should persist after the beauty is gone.
Elizabeth von Arnim
-
The criterion of true beauty is, that it increases in examination; of false, that it lessens. There is something, therefore, in true beauty that corresponds with the right reason, and it is not merely the creature of fancy.
George Grenville
