H. P. Lovecraft

In writing, I try to find the right balance between momentum and infinity, truth and beauty.

Esha Gupta
Everything in nature has its own intrinsic charm, as the work of its Creator’s hand; but the chief beauty of the whole lies in its suggested relations to humanity.

My belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help other people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life – that is, to be happy.

Mary Wollstonecraft
Liturgy is like a strong tree whose beauty is derived from the continuous renewal of its leaves, but whose strength comes from the old trunk, with solid roots in the ground.

Lara Dutta
I may be old-fashioned. But I believe there is such a thing as a search for beauty – a delight in the nice things in the world. And I don’t think one should have to apologise for it.

I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty.
Miuccia Prada

Marie Stopes
Sleeping and water are lifesavers – that’s true beauty right there.

Andre Gide
Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.
George Bernard Shaw
Beauty is an asset, just like physical prowess, charisma, brains or emotional intelligence. The key with any gift is in the way that you use it. It doesn’t define you as a person. Rather, it’s an asset to be used judiciously and with an understanding of how it is just a small part of who you are.

Paul Kalanithi
The beauty of a finely worked object points to the beauty of the craftsmanship. The beauty of the craftsmanship points to the beauty of the name which was the source of the craftsmanship. The beauty of the name of the craftsman’s art points to the beauty of the craftsman’s attributes manifested in that art.
Said Nursi
I like the thought that what we are to do on this earth is embellish it for its greater beauty, so that oncoming generations can look back to the shapes we leave here and get the same thrill that I get in looking back at theirs – at the Parthenon, at Chartres Cathedral.

Now, I’m not saying I’m fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
Beauty and femininity are ageless and can’t be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won’t like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it’s based on femininity.
Marilyn Monroe
Enhancing a woman’s silhouette and enhancing a woman’s beauty – both contribute to enhancing her confidence, so they’re synonymous, really.
L’Wren Scott
I’d like to grow up and be beautiful. I know it doesn’t matter, but it doesn’t hurt.
Kirsten Dunst
Humanism was not wrong in thinking that truth, beauty, liberty, and equality are of infinite value, but in thinking that man can get them for himself without grace.
Simone Weil
Men want a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is what is written in their hearts. That is what little boys play at. That is what men’s movies are about. You just see it. It is undeniable.
John Eldredge
Bologna is the best city in Italy for food and has the least number of tourists. With its medieval beauty, it has it all.
Mario Batali
Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break.
Sara Teasdale
I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.
Georgia O’Keeffe
Sunscreen, in the world of beauty, is the ultimate in adulting.
Emily Weiss
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle
You, Eternal Trinity, are my Creator, and I am the work of Your hands, and I know through the new creation which You have given me in the blood of Your Son, that You are enamored of the beauty of Your workmanship.
Catherine of Siena
Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.
Andre Breton
Now we have technology where we can modify the genomics of individuals by gene transfer and genetic meddling, we may find that people will want to modify their children, enhance their intelligence, their strength and their beauty and all the other so-called desirable characteristics.
Robert Winston
Being nerdy just means being passionate about something, including everyone – the coolest people on Earth are passionate and therefore nerdy about something whatever it is, whether it’s sports, or gaming, or technology, or fashion, or beauty, or food, or whatever.
Zachary Levi
Baseball loyalists cite the game’s legendary numbers – 300 wins, 500 homers, 3,000 hits – as evidence of the sport’s elegance, beauty, and gravitas. What no one mentions is how wretched and painful it is to actually watch a former star gasp and sputter his way toward a legendary number.
Stephen Rodrick
No state can match the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay, our beaches and farms, or the mountains of Western Maryland, the Port of Baltimore, or the historic charm of every corner of our state.
Larry Hogan
The beauty of the horror genre is that you can smuggle in these harder stories, and the genre comes with certain demands, but mostly you need to find the catharsis in whatever story you’re telling. What may be seen as a deterrent for audiences in one genre suddenly becomes a virtue in another genre.
Ari Aster
Rare is the union of beauty and purity.
Juvenal
There is a beauty in nature and culture that we no longer have access to. Those things you can’t forget, you embroider… The further you tell, the further you travel from truth, which means, of course, that literature is a lie.
W. G. Sebald
I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls, the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love.
W. E. B. Du Bois
A few years ago I was participating in a comedic ‘Inner Beauty Pageant’ and I had to figure out a talent very last-minute. I always loved Tyra Banks’s ‘We were all rooting for you!’ moment, and so I decided to lip-sync live to the six-minute entirety of it as my talent.
Bowen Yang
I think the chance of finding beauty is higher if you don’t work on it directly. Beauty in architecture is driven by practicality. This is what you learn from studying the old townscapes of the Swiss farmers.
Peter Zumthor
True beauty is when someone radiates that they like themselves.
Aimee Mullins
An architect must remember that the people working or living in his building need space – to dream, to be quiet, to find beauty somewhere.
Christian de Portzamparc
I have been honoured to serve the whales, dolphins, seals – and all the other creatures on this Earth. Their beauty, intelligence, strength, and spirit have inspired me.
Paul Watson
Beauty when unadorned is adorned the most.
St. Jerome
Jordan has a strange, haunting beauty and a sense of timelessness. Dotted with the ruins of empires once great, it is the last resort of yesterday in the world of tomorrow. I love every inch of it.
Hussein of Jordan
With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.
John Keats
Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.
Imelda Marcos
An image of the Earth, its landscapes, directly affects people. The beauty of the Earth creates enormous emotion, and through that emotion, you can transmit knowledge and raise consciousness.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand
I do love beauty. I love beautiful tilings. I grow orchids and collect butterflies. But when it comes to relationships, you have to find the person inside.
Morten Harket
There is beauty in everything.
Winnie Harlow
The beauty of where I’m from – this small little town called Wallburg, North Carolina – I didn’t have a TV; I was out playing ball with my dad, shooting clay pigeons.
Jill Wagner
There is a life after being at the pinnacle of your beauty. Plenty of life and fun.
Diana Rigg
When I was 11, I had an Ugly Sister birthday party. All my idea. Most girls want to be a fairy or a princess, but there I am with beauty spots and fur and fluorescent pink kiss-curls.
Lucy Punch
Not to sound corny, but intelligence is big. Everything fades, and everything can be modified. But intelligence is something you can’t fake. I’m not even talking about whether you can read a thesaurus backwards. But there is a beauty in common sense.
Wale
I know I’m not everyone’s taste and that’s fine, and that is the beauty of digital and radio that you can find what you want to listen to.
Zoe Ball
My belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help other people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life – that is, to be happy.
Robert Baden-Powell
There is something special about the beauty in the unclear, the ambiguity, the in-between that you can’t totally recognise.
Alessandro Michele
I tried for a while to be an agricultural worker and was hopelessly bored. I would stand around in heaps of manure and sing about the beauty of the work I wasn’t doing.
Theodore Bikel
Really, at the end of the day, the only thing you can control is yourself; the only person you can truly educate is yourself. You have to redefine what beauty is to you so you can’t be affected by what people are saying.
Rupi Kaur
Like charity, I believe glamour should begin at home.
Loretta Young
Coming from a pageant title that celebrates diversity, I’ve come to appreciate all kinds of beauty.
Pia Wurtzbach
I despise women wearing too much makeup. It hides their actual beauty.
Sushant Singh Rajput
The beauty of comedy is, when people come to a comedy club, there is a certain veil of reality suspended.
Carlos Mencia
I feel an important part of beauty is not only what you do on the outside but also what you put into the inside. Good fresh food with many vegetables along with love and caring for others. I spend way more time serving others than I do on my beauty routine daily.
Kim Alexis
You can’t really say what is beautiful about a place, but the image of the place will remain vividly with you.
Tadao Ando
I was the kind nobody thought could make it. I had a funny Boston accent. I couldn’t pronounce my R’s. I wasn’t a beauty.
Barbara Walters
The Western man declares that in order to be beautiful, a woman must look 14 years old. If she dares to look 50, or worse, 60, she is beyond the pale. By putting the spotlight on the female child and framing her as the ideal of beauty, he condemns the mature woman to invisibility.
Fatema Mernissi
The coniferous forests of the Yosemite Park, and of the Sierra in general, surpass all others of their kind in America, or indeed the world, not only in the size and beauty of the trees, but in the number of species assembled together, and the grandeur of the mountains they are growing on.
John Muir
Beauty may be skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.
Redd Foxx
That’s the beauty of creativity. It comes from the ether. I like to think, sometimes, it’s like I haven’t written it, it’s more like I just reached up and grabbed it from somewhere. That song, ‘Song of the Red Rock Mountain,’ is one of them. I recorded it and thought, ‘Where did that come from?’
Alvin Lee
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
Benjamin Britten
Virtue has a veil, vice a mask.
Victor Hugo
It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
Aldous Huxley
If in my youth I had realized that the sustaining splendour of beauty of with which I was in love would one day flood back into my heart, there to ignite a flame that would torture me without end, how gladly would I have put out the light in my eyes.
Michelangelo
Beauty is in the character of a person. It’s about having an interesting face and about what’s inside. Anyone can take a good picture.
Patrick Demarchelier
The Lord did not people the earth with a vibrant orchestra of personalities only to value the piccolos of the world. Every instrument is precious and adds to the complex beauty of the symphony.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
Being proud of who we are as people is more important than cutting into ourselves to create this false idea of beauty.
Isla Fisher
For me, a page of good prose is where one hears the rain and the noise of battle. It has the power to give grief or universality that lends it a youthful beauty.
John Cheever
The beauty of my journey is that it’s always been pretty unpredictable, so stay tuned.
Andreja Pejic
I’m not out here to win a beauty contest.
Kirk Gibson
The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.
James Baldwin
Exuberance is beauty.
William Blake
You know when I feel inwardly beautiful? When I am with my girlfriends and we are having a ‘goddess circle’.
Jennifer Aniston
This is the beauty of the Qur’an: it asks you to reflect and reason, and not to worship the sun or moon but the One who has created everything. The Qur’an asks man to reflect upon the sun and moon and God’s creation in general.
Cat Stevens
The past itself, as historical change continues to accelerate, has become the most surreal of subjects – making it possible… to see a new beauty in what is vanishing.
Susan Sontag
I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty.
Amelia Earhart
Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.
H. G. Wells
If you get simple beauty and naught else, you get about the best thing God invents.
Robert Browning
Beauty, to me, is kind, generous, and people that are humble.
Nikki Sixx
Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age – as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.
Phyllis Diller
Mathematics has beauty and romance. It’s not a boring place to be, the mathematical world. It’s an extraordinary place; it’s worth spending time there.
Marcus du Sautoy
Beauty is being comfortable and confident in your own skin.
Iman
That’s the beauty of coaching. You get to touch lives, you get to make a difference. You get to do things for people who will never pay you back and they say you never have had a perfect day until you’ve done something for someone who will never pay you back.
Morgan Wootten
Vampires have always held a very seductive kind of lore and have always been some variety of attractive, whether it’s attractiveness that’s born of just the physical attributes that they have – this kind of ethereal beauty or translucent pallor – or whether it is more to do with the way they carry themselves.
Colin Farrell
A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life.
Lewis Mumford
To experience sublime natural beauty is to confront the total inadequacy of language to describe what you see. Words cannot convey the scale of a view that is so stunning it is felt.
Eleanor Catton
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you’re an artist.
David Hockney
I find, in being black, a thing of beauty: a joy; a strength; a secret cup of gladness.
Ossie Davis
I really admire a woman for her intelligence, her personality. Beauty is not enough.
Roberto Cavalli
The beauty of ‘spacing’ children many years apart lies in the fact that parents have time to learn the mistakes that were made with the older ones – which permits them to make exactly the opposite mistakes with the younger ones.
Sydney J. Harris
We tell them that we believe it will be beautiful because that is our specialty, we only create joy and beauty. We have never done a sad work. Through the drawings, we hope a majority will be able to visualize it.
Christo
Walk to work, even if it’s four miles. Ride a bike to work. Drive a different way. On your way there, try to find beauty. You’d be surprised how much more of the neighborhood you can perceive and experience when you’re looking for unique spots of beauty.
Nolan Bushnell
And yes, I am fond of beauty, be it clothes, jewelry or just life. It has to be the best.
Amrita Rao
I believe love at first sight is possible. Centuries of literature and art and beauty has been dedicated to that idea, so who am I to argue, even if I’ve never experienced it?
Maggie Grace
Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress.
Milan Kundera
The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.
Conan O’Brien
My interpretation of the word ‘ugly’… I like ugly beauty. That can happen. In France, we have phrase ‘jolie laide.’ We like certain women who are not pretty or cute – it’s the opposite in France of pretty. It’s more strange and interesting.
Francois Nars
I’m proud that today, at 43 years old, I’ve come to value the aging process and focus on inner rather than outer beauty.
Carre Otis
Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Just because a woman is beautiful doesn’t mean she can’t be a good wife. If her beauty affects her personality, then it’s her mentality that’s at fault… not the tilt of her nose.
Fred MacMurray
It’s not just Ethiopia, but Africa in general – most of the media concentrates on what’s not going well. But there is so much beauty there. When you go, it changes everything. It changes you, your life, and the way you see things. The challenge is changing the image of Africa that’s been anchored in people for years now.
Liya Kebede
Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You’ve got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I’ve got my Freud mixed up. It’s just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.
Vera Farmiga
I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.
Charles Baudelaire
There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
Maria Mitchell
My approach to beauty is all about moods. If you want to feel sexy, if you want to feel feminine or, I don’t know, boyish – it’s all about how you feel at that point in time. My mood changes.
Banks
Some people would claim that things like love, joy and beauty belong to a different category from science and can’t be described in scientific terms, but I think they can now be explained by the theory of evolution.
Stephen Hawking
You don’t have to save the world, but you can be in the world-that’s where the beauty comes from.
Daphne Zuniga
I am so honored to join the company of a roster as celebrated and diverse as Covergirl’s. I can’t wait to share some of my own beauty tips with fans and work alongside Covergirl to continue empowering girls and women to celebrate their individuality.
Zendaya
The waving of a pine tree on the top of a mountain – a magic wand in Nature’s hand – every devout mountaineer knows its power; but the marvelous beauty value of what the Scotch call a breckan in a still dell, what poet has sung this?
John Muir
The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within – strength, courage, dignity.
Ruby Dee
Beauty lasts five minutes. Maybe longer if you have a good plastic surgeon.
Tia Carrere
If you don’t die of thirst, there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness, which we all yearn for, or you can do the beauty of minutiae, the scrimshaw of tiny and precise. The sky is your ocean, and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music, or Neil Young.
Anne Lamott
To me, teamwork is the beauty of our sport, where you have five acting as one. You become selfless.
Mike Krzyzewski
Beauty awakens the soul to act.
Dante Alighieri
For all of nature’s wonder and beauty, it is also hostile and unpredictable.
Liam Neeson
She is a peacock in everything but beauty.
Oscar Wilde
Don’t get me wrong, I admire elegance and have an appreciation of the finer things in life. But to me, beauty lies in simplicity.
Mark Hyman
The beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds – but we still have the power to change our own.
Ally Condie
Beauty is a fragile gift.
Ovid
Fashion fosters cliches of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.
Miuccia Prada
Poetry allies itself with beauty – a supreme union – but never uses it as its ultimate goal or sole nourishment.
Saint-John Perse
This idea that being youthful is the only thing that’s beautiful or attractive simply isn’t true. I don’t want to be an ‘ageless beauty.’ I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.
Sharon Stone
I have always known what I wanted, and that was beauty… in every form.
Joan Crawford
Growing up, I was obsessed with Disney movies like ‘The Little Mermaid,’ ‘Aladdin’ and ‘Beauty And The Beast.’ I was always singing the songs from these movies, so to find myself in the studio with Alan Menken was an amazing experience. In fact, it was a dream come true.
Mandy Moore
Personality is more important than beauty, but imagination is more important than both of them.
Laurette Taylor
All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant. All cities are beautiful: but the beauty is grim.
Christopher Morley
The beauty standards had nothing to do with me in Mexico. It was such a bizarre, dire time for my hair. I was living in a small town where there was not any semblance of an African community. I’d have to take the bus to Mexico City to find a woman who could braid my hair. That was two and a half hours away.
Lupita Nyong’o
My message is: beauty has no gender. At the end of the day beauty is beauty.
Carmen Carrera
I like to embrace natural beauty. I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep, drinking a lot of water and exercising.
Tia Mowry
I pretty much borrow my entire beauty regime from my mom.
Rashida Jones
I don’t see the desert as barren at all; I see it as full and ripe. It doesn’t need to be flattered with rain. It certainly needs rain, but it does with what it has, and creates amazing beauty.
Joy Harjo
Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.
William Hazlitt
What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
Joseph Brodsky
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.
Edward Steichen
Beauty and folly are old companions.
Benjamin Franklin
Beauty is the sole ambition, the exclusive goal of Taste.
Charles Baudelaire
I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists.
Alexander McQueen
Just try the effect of putting beauty into your life, a little every day. You will find it magical. It will broaden and light up your outlook upon the world as the acquisition of money or fame never can.
Orison Swett Marden
I am quite familiar with Dubai and its design scene. I have been a regular visitor for more than 10 years. It is hard to name an area where hospitality, friendship, culture, ambition, and beauty are so highly regarded.
Marcel Wanders
As a busy working mom I’m always pressed for time, so a quick and easy beauty routine is key!
Angela Kinsey
I guess you could say my beauty routine is to do fun stuff with great people, laugh lots, work hard and be kind: because when I’m stimulated, invigorated and exhilarated, that’s when I feel beautiful.
Vick Hope
We say we want to create beauty, identity, quality, singularity. And yet, maybe in truth these cities that we have are desired. Maybe their very characterlessness provides the best context for living.
Rem Koolhaas
It’s sad when girls think they don’t have anything going on except being pretty.
Keri Russell
Beauty is subjective and should not be limited to only what we see on the outside.
Alek Wek
Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty?
Paul Gauguin
I have been drawn to stories that are attempting to turn suffering into beauty.
Andrew Garfield
Science shows us truth and beauty and fills each day with a fresh wonder of the exquisite order which governs our world.
Polykarp Kusch
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
George Bernard Shaw
I work a lot in the slums of Tondo, Manila, and the life there is poor and very sad. And I’ve always taught to myself to look for the beauty of it and look in the beauty of the faces of the children and to be grateful.
Catriona Gray
Most of us who become experimental physicists do so for two reasons; we love the tools of physics because to us they have intrinsic beauty, and we dream of finding new secrets of nature as important and as exciting as those uncovered by our scientific heroes.
Luis Walter Alvarez
I think exercise tests us in so many ways, our skills, our hearts, our ability to bounce back after setbacks. This is the inner beauty of sports and competition, and it can serve us all well as adult athletes.
Peggy Fleming
I like to think that today is the best day of my life and tomorrow will be the next best day of my life. And if you think that way, you’re living for the beauty of today.
Conrad Anker
The beauty one can find in art is one of the pitifully few real and lasting products of human endeavor.
J. Paul Getty
Faith goes out through the window when beauty comes in at the door.
George Edward Moore
To give pain is the tyranny; to make happy, the true empire of beauty.
Samuel Butler
Art is beauty, the perpetual invention of detail, the choice of words, the exquisite care of execution.
Theophile Gautier
Romance and novel paint beauty in colors more charming than nature, and describe a happiness that humans never taste. How deceptive and destructive are those pictures of consummate bliss!
Oliver Goldsmith
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Emily Dickinson
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The idea of beauty today is a bloody mess. It’s really awful. You look in the fashion magazines and see all of these retouched people. Some guys called retouchers go on the computer and take away everything that you are and then call it photography. I think it’s such an insult.
Peter Lindbergh
I think confidence is a true form of beauty.
Becky G
Beauty is less important than quality.
Eugene Ormandy
Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.
Serge Gainsbourg
People are craving this great progress in electronics, going after computers, the Internet, etc. It’s a giant progress technologically. But they must have a balance of soul, a balance for human beauty. That means art has an important role.
Mstislav Rostropovich
Here I sit, beneath the large window of a first-floor Georgian flat, exploring the corridors of my sordid imagination for comedic words of beauty.
Matt Roper
What a man does for pay is of little significance. What he is, as a sensitive instrument responsive to the world’s beauty, is everything!
H. P. Lovecraft
We have magnificent brains, but we use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorant, to keep ourselves from not shining. We are so afraid of our beauty and radiance and brilliance because it scared the adults around us when we were children.
Patricia Sun
Nature’s beauty is a gift that cultivates appreciation and gratitude.
Louie Schwartzberg
It’s important for women to embrace their beauty and sexuality. Females are victimized and made to feel ashamed of their bodies, or they can’t be smart and beautiful, and I try to work against that.
Melina Matsoukas
Do not waste time dreaming of great faraway opportunities; do the best you can where you are. Open your petals of power and beauty and fling out the fragrance of your life in the place that has been assigned to you.
Orison Swett Marden
Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.
Marcus Aurelius
My mother is a big believer in being responsible for your own happiness. She always talked about finding joy in small moments and insisted that we stop and take in the beauty of an ordinary day. When I stop the car to make my kids really see a sunset, I hear my mother’s voice and smile.
Jennifer Garner
He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter.
John Burroughs
So far as I am concerned, I could not be accused of having set eyes, or having wished to set eyes, upon Darius’ wife: on the contrary, I have refused even to listen to those who spoke to me of her beauty.
Alexander the Great
Honestly, Korean beauty standards are harsh. People are even putting pressure on non-celebrities to be super skinny, and the standards of thinness are just getting worse.
Park Bo-young
Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.
Louis Kahn
Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that’s when you’re most beautiful.
Zoe Kravitz
Integrity reveals beauty.
Thomas Leonard
Whenever I have any beauty doubts, I always look up the Internet for solutions and remedies!
Krystle D’Souza
Beauty is being in harmony with what you are.
Peter Nivio Zarlenga
Take care of your inner, spiritual beauty. That will reflect in your face.
Dolores del Rio
Being a beauty queen was never on my radar.
Catriona Gray
Beauty is not just a white girl. It’s so many different flavors and shades.
Queen Latifah
What saddens me is the corruption of youth and beauty, and the loss of soul, which is only replaced by money.
Lisa Bonet
‘No words – action’ was the lesson my mother taught me: as artists, we have the privilege of holding a mirror to the world, to engage, to question, to bring beauty to a complex universe.
Mira Nair
The beauty of any conspiracy theory is that because it can’t be proved, that just makes it more ‘real.’ It’s not a question of believing or not believing, really; it’s more a question of just accepting a series of probabilities that lead to an undeniable conclusion.
Dean Haglund
What can a pencil do for all of us? Amazing things. It can write transcendent poetry, uplifting music, or life-changing equations; it can sketch the future, give life to untold beauty, and communicate the full-force of our love and aspirations.
Adam Braun
Today I see beauty everywhere I go, in every face I see, in every single soul.
Kevyn Aucoin
The happiness I feel in having a family has brought me a real beauty.
Kate Winslet
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.
John Donne
Part of the beauty of Victoria’s Secret modeling is that they are called ‘Angels’ for a reason – because they’re aesthetics are supposed to be unobtainable. But so are mine. No one could ever be me. Look exactly as I do. Be exactly as I am.
Rain Dove
If you don’t know your worth, if you don’t know your value, if you don’t know how fantabulous you are – it’s going to be hard for other people to see it. Being appreciative of self is beauty to me.
Kelly Rowland
If you can visualize the whole of spring and see Paradise with the eye of belief, you may understand the utter majesty of everlasting Beauty. If you respond to that Beauty with the beauty of belief and worship, you will be a most beautiful creature.
Said Nursi
From his roots as a slave, the American Negro – sometimes sorrowing, sometimes jubilant but always hopeful – has touched, illuminated, and influenced the most remote preserves of world civilisation. I and my dance theater celebrate this trembling beauty.
Alvin Ailey
Every decently-made object, from a house to a lamp post to a bridge, spoon or egg cup, is not just a piece of ‘stuff’ but a physical embodiment of human energy, testimony to the magical ability of our species to take raw materials and turn them into things of use, value and beauty.
Kevin McCloud
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Competence, like truth, beauty, and contact lenses, is in the eye of the beholder.
Laurence J. Peter
My biggest beauty tip would be exfoliation, exfoliation, exfoliation! After a lifetime of almost no breakouts, I started having some pretty embarrassing ones and learned that if you don’t exfoliate, your skin has a hard time shedding the old skin and therefore clogs your pores and causes zits.
Amanda Crew
‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ was actually inspired by three of my all-time-favorite fairy/folktales: ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘East of the Sun, West of the Moon’ and ‘Tam Lin.’ I got the kernel of inspiration by wondering: ‘What if ‘Beauty’ was a huntress?’
Sarah J. Maas
Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.
Francis Bacon
Whether you come from heaven or hell, what does it matter, O Beauty!
Charles Baudelaire
Beauty is one of the rare things which does not lead to doubt of God.
Jean Anouilh
Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
Henry Rollins
As a Californian, I feel lucky to live in what is truly the Golden State – a place of sunshine, agricultural bounty, natural beauty, technological innovation, and boundless optimism.
Tom Steyer
The beauty about the playoffs is how you make an adjustment, how you come back game-to-game, and to be locked in and focused to win.
Tobias Harris
You fall into my arms. You are the good gift of destruction’s path, When life sickens more than disease. And boldness is the root of beauty. Which draws us together.
Boris Pasternak
Gorgeous hair is the best revenge.
Ivana Trump
The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.
William Wordsworth
Oh! this opponent, this collaborator against your will, whose notion of beauty always differs from yours and whose means are often too limited for active assistance to your intentions!
Alexander Alekhine
Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.
Alanis Morissette
By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.
Rabindranath Tagore
Do not waste time dreaming of great faraway opportunities; do the best you can where you are. Open your petals of power and beauty and fling out the fragrance of your life in the place that has been assigned to you.
Orison Swett Marden
The perception of beauty is a moral test.
Henry David Thoreau
I love beauty. But I like the beauty accidentally, not dished up, served up on a platter.
Wole Soyinka
Beauty breeds beauty; truth triggers truth. The cure for writer’s block is therefore to read.
Matt Haig
What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade.
Gertrude Jekyll
I think confidence is a true form of beauty.
Becky G
The most fascinating thing for me is that ‘Peter Pan’ is a fairy tale, but now, this Filipino kid is a part of the folklore. Can you imagine telling the story of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ or ‘Cinderella,’ and all of a sudden there’s a Filipino kid in there after all these years?
Dante Basco
I appreciate simplicity, true beauty that lasts over time, and a little wit and eclecticism that make life more fun.
Elliott Erwitt
I think we need to take time out in our lives to realign ourselves with country, to realign ourselves with what we have and the beauty of what we have. I think we’ve all just got caught up in this way of life that doesn’t allow us to be intimate with it any more.
Aaron Pedersen
What is beautiful enchants me. I mean not just physical beauty but a wider concept of beauty. There is beauty in poetry and in great musical or singing performances. There is beauty everywhere if you can just see it.
Andrea Bocelli
Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.
John Donne
I love sports because it takes me away from reality, and I tell people, ‘No matter how bad your life is, if you are having problems at home, you are having problems at work, that’s the beauty of sports.’
Charles Barkley
Cherish sunsets, wild creatures and wild places. Have a love affair with the wonder and beauty of the earth.
Stewart Udall
It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance… and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.
Henry James
For me, beauty comes from natural happiness. I think that a woman glows, and a man, even, when they’re healthy and they’re happy.
Michelle Yeoh
Beauty for me is the attitude behind something. But my ideals of beauty are rather different.
Shobana
I may be the first actress to admit that beauty doesn’t hold you back. I think beauty is a gift that you have to make the most of. I’ve worked hard at trying to look my best.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers – and never succeeding.
Gian Carlo Menotti
Visual surprise is natural in the Caribbean; it comes with the landscape, and faced with its beauty, the sigh of History dissolves.
Derek Walcott
I don’t love Photoshop; I like imperfection. It doesn’t mean ugly. I love a girl with a gap between her teeth, versus perfect white veneers. Perfection is just… boring. Perfect is what’s natural or real; that is beauty.
Marc Jacobs
If a work of art is rich and vital and complete, those who have artistic instincts will see its beauty, and those to whom ethics appeal more strongly than aesthetics will see its moral lesson. It will fill the cowardly with terror, and the unclean will see in it their own shame.
Oscar Wilde
Once you go inside and weed through the muck, you will find the real beauty, the truth about yourself.
Lindsay Wagner
Our bodies are always going to change, and we might not always love that, but it really has nothing to do with true beauty. True beauty comes from within.
Nia Jax
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
George Bernard Shaw
The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
Albert Einstein
I may be old-fashioned. But I believe there is such a thing as a search for beauty – a delight in the nice things in the world. And I don’t think one should have to apologise for it.
Saul Leiter
I think every single imperfection adds to your beauty. I’d rather be imperfect than perfect.
Sonam Kapoor
Let me tell you something – being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.
Halle Berry
It was Chicago with its World’s Fair which vivified the national desire for civic beauty.
Daniel Burnham
We needed something to express our joy, our beauty, our power. And the rainbow did that.
Gilbert Baker
Remember that physical beauty is evolution’s way of assuring us that the other person doesn’t have too many intestinal parasites.
Ben Bernanke
What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain.
Victor Hugo
We should not allow it to be believed that all scientific progress can be reduced to mechanisms, machines, gearings, even though such machinery also has its beauty. Neither do I believe that the spirit of adventure runs any risk of disappearing in our world.
Marie Curie
It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.
David Allan Coe
Beauty without expression is boring.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In a war situation or where violence and injustice are prevalent, poetry is called upon to be something more than a thing of beauty.
Seamus Heaney
Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?
Dennis Prager
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.
Jean-Luc Godard
When we recognise the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection, love is born.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Happy Skin is all about natural beauty. They don’t want you to wear something that’s harsh on your skin and I want that as well.
Heart Evangelista
The achievement is appreciation. Your ability to be surprised and awed by beauty!
William Hurt
Scottie’s game changed with where he was at physically. He wasn’t the same player at 21 as he was at 30. Both he and Michael aged gracefully in this league and that’s the beauty of being a professional player. You continue to grow and continue to change your game, but you do it to be just as effective.
B. J. Armstrong
Pay attention to the beauty surrounding you.
Anne Lamott
I’ve seen the majestic beauty of nature and the overwhelming perfection of it. To me, there’s nothing closer to God than that.
Cote de Pablo
We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it.
Hans Urs von Balthasar
We don’t need bigger cars or fancier clothes. We need self-respect, identity, community, love, variety, beauty, challenge and a purpose in living that is greater than material accumulation.
Donella Meadows
Beauty is but a flower, which wrinkles will devour.
Thomas Nashe
Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Beauty seen is never lost, God’s colors all are fast.
John Greenleaf Whittier
I just want to build the best buildings. It’s not about me, it’s about the buildings, creating a space where society can gather and marvel in beauty and nature.
Santiago Calatrava
Beauty is not skin-deep; it can be a means of self-affirmation, a true indicator of personality and confidence.
Aimee Mullins
The beauty comes with the balance. Everyone should find his own balance in his personal as well as his professional life. Once you do so, you will feel and look beautiful.
Karolina Kurkova
The way a woman carries herself and the way she dresses ought to promote the following types of words: modesty, discretion, wisdom, beauty, elegance and refinement, but not sensuality, luxury, extravagance.
Paul Washer
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
Socrates
What finally is beauty? Certainly nothing that can be calculated or measured. It is always something imponderable, something that lies between things.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.
Hosea Ballou
The storyline of a fantasy novel is filled with such a sense of enchantment, beauty and strangeness; it allows the writer to explore the big ontological questions of life that would sound like a sermon in a social realist novel.
Kate Forsyth
I’ve found beauty in such unexpected places. I think the most beautiful thing you can do is be yourself and to own it.
Shannon Purser
Art evokes emotion. It doesn’t have to be a thing of beauty.
Eli Broad
I didn’t even know what a beauty editor was. It sounds like a fictional job if you think about it. You get to test lipstick and perfume and nail polish legitimately and call it work.
Zoe Foster Blake
I am a writer. I suppose I think that the highest gift that man has is art, and I am audacious enough to think of myself as an artist – that there is both joy and beauty and illumination and communion between people to be achieved through the dissection of personality.
Lorraine Hansberry
People don’t associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.
Shirley Manson
Look after yourself from within, and your beauty will shine through on your skin.
Shanina Shaik
And for me, the real world involves everything: risk, danger, beauty, energy, all we meet with in the real world.

Beauty and fullness of tone can be achieved by having the whole orchestra play with high clarinets and a carefully selected number of piccolos.
Gustav Mahler
Flowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
From the beginning, Madam C. J. Walker’s message was as much about hair and beauty as it was about empowering other women. She knew that confidence and self-assurance are key ingredients to success, and that true beauty comes from within.
A’Lelia Bundles
I think the most powerful beauty is representative of uniqueness and individuality of every person.
Nikita Dragun
The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.
Pablo Neruda
Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from The Eternal.
Dante Alighieri
I do like beauty, but an older woman can be beautiful and a clever woman is beautiful because that beauty shines through.
Patrick Demarchelier
Truth isn’t always beauty, but the hunger for it is.
Nadine Gordimer
The landscape painter must walk in the fields with a humble mind. No arrogant man was ever permitted to see Nature in all her beauty.
John Constable
People tend not to use this word beauty because it’s not intellectual – but there has to be an overlap between beauty and intellect.
Tadao Ando
I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.
James Dean
As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained.
Arthur Cayley
Search for beauty without features, something deeper than any signs.
Francesca da Rimini
Beauty lasts five minutes. Maybe longer if you have a good plastic surgeon.

Natasha Henstridge
The pain passes, but the beauty remains.
Auguste Renoir
I love natural beauty, and I think it’s your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
Marina and the Diamonds
Beauty comes from the inside.
Kathy Ireland
I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don’t expect it.
Jean Paul Gaultier
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
John Kenneth Galbraith
After all, it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without; and I have been more fascinated by a woman of talent and intelligence, though deficient in personal charms, than I have been by the most regular beauty.
Washington Irving
My best beauty secret ever is to drink a lot of water!
Anna Ewers
Citizens of Ukraine will never enjoy the beauty of peace unless we settle down our relations with Russia.
Petro Poroshenko
It’s fine to have talent, but talent is the last of it. In an acting career, as in an acting performance, you’ve got to have vitality. The secret of successful acting is identical with a woman’s beauty secret: joy in living.
Rosalind Russell
Be sure what you want and be sure about yourself. Fashion is not just beauty, it’s about good attitude. You have to believe in yourself and be strong.
Adriana Lima
Enhance and intensify one’s vision of that synthesis of truth and beauty which is the highest and deepest reality.
Ovid
I recognize in thieves, traitors and murderers, in the ruthless and the cunning, a deep beauty – a sunken beauty.
Jean Genet
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.
E. M. Forster
I find beauty in imperfection.
Rachel Morrison
It is shallow people who think beauty is frivolous or excessive. If you are bringing beauty and god, you are enriching the country. Rice feeds the body, books feed the mind, beauty feeds the soul. It is one thing I can really be proud of and stand tall in the world.
Imelda Marcos
Well I do find the beauty in animals. I find beauty everywhere. I find beauty in my garden.
Doris Day
When I was a seminarian, I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle’s wedding. I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance… and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while.
Pope Francis
Mother liked beauty wherever she found it, and she found it in many different places, both in nature and in contemporary art. And that’s where they pretty much parted company. Father… anything that was abstract would to him automatically be not very good.
David Rockefeller
Violence can be very grotesque and also intensely attractive. What interests me is how the two – beauty and violence – live side by side, and how moments can be created and erased almost simultaneously. Destruction is painful, but at times it can be very cathartic.
Ori Gersht
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Aldous Huxley
I’ve suffered quite a lot, to the point where I’ve experienced death. Years before I wasn’t fit to die, but I understand life better now. Death is nice, death is beauty.
Fela Kuti
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
Albert Einstein
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.
Baruch Spinoza
A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we’re children, but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they’re scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it’s pretty much in the eye of the beholder.
Stephen King
Beauty is an asset, just like physical prowess, charisma, brains or emotional intelligence. The key with any gift is in the way that you use it. It doesn’t define you as a person. Rather, it’s an asset to be used judiciously and with an understanding of how it is just a small part of who you are.
Dale Archer
Every flaw, scar, or mark you may have adds to your beauty.
Raheem DeVaughn

Timothy Radcliffe
I recognize in thieves, traitors and murderers, in the ruthless and the cunning, a deep beauty – a sunken beauty.
Jean Genet
I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections, Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling, Or just after.
Wallace Stevens
When it comes to the qualities that I look for in a partner, I’d say looks are a factor but the inner beauty is more important as it adds to the personality.
Sara Khan
But, when the work was finished, the Craftsman kept wishing that there were someone to ponder the plan of so great a work, to love its beauty, and to wonder at its vastness.
Giovanni Pico della Mirandola
Beauty, like truth, is relative to the time when one lives and to the individual who can grasp it. The expression of beauty is in direct ratio to the power of conception the artist has acquired.
Gustave Courbet
Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.
Charles Lamb
When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.
Akhenaton
Social media has revolutionised how beauty is curated, captured, and consumed.
Pat McGrath
If we do not permit the earth to produce beauty and joy, it will in the end not produce food, either.
Joseph Wood Krutch
I feel it is important not to get overly obsessed and overly carried away with just the physical aspect. There is more to beauty than just the physical appearance. You are also a complete person, and a woman should have an identity beyond just the way she looks.
Katrina Kaif
There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance.
Arthur Helps
‘Green Garden’ is about beauty and joy and lush green and dance and excitement and smiling from within.
Laura Mvula
Beauty doesn’t need ornaments. Softness can’t bear the weight of ornaments.
Munshi Premchand
‘Beauty’ is a currency system like the gold standard. Like any economy, it is determined by politics, and in the modern age in the West is is the last, best belief system that keeps male dominance intact.
Naomi Wolf
My music has to do with beauty, and it’s intended to, if not lift the spirits, then be a kind of a balm to the spirits.
Nick Cave
Black beauty – he’s a dark horse.
Tim Vine
I am among those who think that science has great beauty.
Marie Curie
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.
Audrey Hepburn
Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the Infinite.
Francis Bacon
Love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.
Sophia Loren

Ralph Waldo Emerson
I’m firmly convinced that true beauty only springs from the acceptance of oneself, from an awareness of who we really are.
Peter Lindbergh
Beauty, sweet love, is like the morning dew, Whose short refresh upon tender green, Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth show And straight is gone, as it had never been.
Samuel Daniel
A beautiful bouquet or a long-lasting flowering plant is a traditional gift for women, but I have recommended that both men and women keep fresh flowers in the home for their beauty, fragrance, and the lift they give our spirits.
Andrew Weil
Beauty is too easy. Often in my work, I take beautiful objects and do extreme things to them so that they are overlaid with something a bit more sinister and violent.
Cornelia Parker
I am an unconventional beauty. I grew up in a high school where if you didn’t have a nose job and money and if you weren’t thin, you weren’t cool, popular, beautiful. I was always told that I wasn’t pretty enough to be on television.
Lea Michele
Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.
Simone Weil
Orthodoxy is like an abyss of beauty that’s just endless. I have read the Bible many times. But after fasting, and being baptized Orthodox, it’s like reading a whole new Bible. You see the depth behind the words so much more clearly.
Troy Polamalu
A child does not notice the greatness and the beauty of nature and the splendor of God in his works.
Rudolf Otto
Beauty is produced by the pleasing appearance and good taste of the whole, and by the dimensions of all the parts being duly proportioned to each other.
Vitruvius
I consider fitness, diet, and beauty to be essential to a balanced self.
Hannah Bronfman
Beauty is only skin deep. I think what’s really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.
Jennifer Lopez
Because beauty isn’t enough, there must be something more.
Eva Herzigova
Beauty is that quality which, next to money, is generally the most attractive to the worst kinds of men; and, therefore, it is likely to entail a great deal of trouble on the possessor.
Anne Bronte
I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair.
Dita Von Teese
The lions taught me photography. They taught me patience and the sense of beauty, a beauty that penetrates you.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand
Beauty is a radiance that originates from within and comes from inner security and strong character.
Jane Seymour
Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.
Karl Lagerfeld
‘Changes in Latitudes’ began when I was looking at a photograph of a sea turtle swimming underwater. I had such a strong feeling for the beauty of this ancient creature, at home in the sea. On the spot, I wanted to swim with that turtle. I began to imagine a character who would do just that.
Will Hobbs
Goodness is beauty in the best estate.
Christopher Marlowe
I’m a spiritual person: I believe that if you read the Bible, you get what you want from it. But, when you actually read it, you see the beauty, spirituality, the joy and love, and what makes us godly.
Carlos Mencia
Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?

There is no personal achievement in being born beautiful.
Loretta Young

Gertrude Jekyll
Beauty is that which is simultaneously attractive and sublime.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

There is beauty and humility in imperfection.
Guillermo del Toro
Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.
D. H. Lawrence
The idea of the beauty of diversity came from just growing up where I grew up. Los Angeles is a very big city – there’s Little Ethiopia, Little Armenia, Little Tokyo, Chinatown, there’s African-Americans, Latinos, Europeans.
Kamasi Washington
What the canons of beauty transmit is an idea of taking care of yourself. Eating well, living healthily, doing sports. It’s a way to highlight the natural beauty in each of us. The natural body that all of us are born with.
Bianca Balti
This idea that being youthful is the only thing that’s beautiful or attractive simply isn’t true. I don’t want to be an ‘ageless beauty.’ I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.
Sharon Stone
We live in a very chaotic world that sometimes we – it just seems like a mess. One of the reasons why we listen to music, and to great classical music in particular, is that everything is in an order and in a place and has a beauty that you see in nature, that you see and that people look for when they look for God.
Joshua Bell
People probably think I’m cute because I have dimples and am friendly and always smiling. But beauty is different. In Chinese, people say I have chi ze, which means aura or a strong sense of presentation. It’s not about my look.
Liu Wen
Real beauty knocks you a little bit off kilter.
David Byrne
The thing about organic farming is that the produce will not look the same. Your tomato will not resemble the rich red one from the textbook, and that’s the beauty of it.
R. Madhavan
I have beauty, intelligence, individuality, sensuality and sexuality.
Shannon Tweed
We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world’s biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.
Chanakya
From the first opening of our eyes, it is the light that attracts us. We clutch aimlessly with our baby fingers at the gossamer-motes in the sunbeam, and we die reaching out after an ineffable blending of earthly and heavenly beauty which we shall never fully comprehend.
Lucy Larcom
The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld.
Martha Beck
In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
Beauty comes in all forms. It’s not just external; it’s internal as well.

There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.
Charles Baudelaire
My beauty secret is to try to keep my heart as open and happy as I can, because it really makes the sad lines on my face look better.

Mascara can definitely be one of the hardest parts of the beauty routine. Nothing is worse than when you are applying your mascara, and you’ve worked an hour on the most flawless blended eye shadow, and with one slip of the finger, your mascara is all over your face.
James Charles
What can a pencil do for all of us? Amazing things. It can write transcendent poetry, uplifting music, or life-changing equations; it can sketch the future, give life to untold beauty, and communicate the full-force of our love and aspirations.
Adam Braun
Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage.
Thomas Kinkade
Italy’s assets are her style, her beauty, her creativity, her passion, her energy, her technology; and these will be core brand values of all our cars. Fiat as a company has a long way to go and a steep road ahead.
Lapo Elkann
Beauty has no boundaries, no rules, no colors. Beauty is like a religion. You can include everything inside it.
Alessandro Michele
Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars – mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?
Richard P. Feynman
Beauty, n: the power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.
Ambrose Bierce
Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive.
Nikos Kazantzakis
A sculptor wields The chisel, and the stricken marble grows To beauty.
William Cullen Bryant
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
Audrey Hepburn
People say I’m extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
Imelda Marcos
The arts, quite simply, nourish the soul. They sustain, comfort, inspire. There is nothing like that exquisite moment when you first discover the beauty of connecting with others in celebration of larger ideals and shared wisdom.
Gordon Gee
Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled; not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaning it.
Tom Stoppard
In a meadow full of flowers, you cannot walk through and breathe those smells and see all those colors and remain angry. We have to support the beauty, the poetry, of life.
Jonas Mekas
I don’t look in the mirror; don’t like what I see; never have. I am not my idea of a beauty. Never was. This is not false modesty. I’ve just never been enamoured of my face, which of course is magnified umpteen times on screen.
Lauren Bacall
For thousands of years, human beings have been obsessed with beauty, truth, love, honor, altruism, courage, social relationships, art, and God. They all go together as subjective experiences, and it’s a straw man to set God up as the delusion. If he is, then so is truth itself or beauty itself.
Deepak Chopra
The beauty of a face is not a separate quality but a relation or proportion of qualities to each other.
George Herbert Mead
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank
It would be difficult for me not to conclude that the most perfect type of masculine beauty is Satan, as portrayed by Milton.
Charles Baudelaire
I want, of course, peace, grace, and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it.
Studs Terkel
You don’t have to be a renowned artist like Q-Tip to try your hand at poetry. You don’t need any special equipment – that’s the beauty of it.
Michelle Obama
I wanted very much to learn to draw, for a reason that I kept to myself: I wanted to convey an emotion I have about the beauty of the world.
Richard P. Feynman
Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Franz Kafka
Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.
Edgar Allan Poe
The real beauty of it – key to my life was playing key chords on a banjo. For somebody else it may be a golf club that mom and dad put in their hands or a baseball or ballet lessons. Real gift to give to me and put it in writing.
Vince Gill
There are elements of intrinsic beauty in the simplification of a house built on the log cabin idea.
Gustav Stickley
I can’t live without my beauty products. I love to be in my bathroom with my candles lit, morning, noon and night. I like taking hot baths and hot showers, using my body scrubs and lotions.
Traci Bingham
Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
The human face is the organic seat of beauty. It is the register of value in development, a record of Experience, whose legitimate office is to perfect the life, a legible language to those who will study it, of the majestic mistress, the soul.
Eliza Farnham
That’s the beauty of being above board – you can brag about your winnings.
Dan Bilzerian
I accidentally entered a youth pageant when I was 14. That’s like a beauty pageant, but without the beauty. It was terrible.
Zooey Deschanel
The notion of the infinite variety of detail and the multiplicity of forms is a pleasing one; in complexity are the fringes of beauty, and in variety are generosity and exuberance.
Annie Dillard
Western beauty is considered the dominant beauty in the world. Tall, blond, blue eyes. I always felt a little self-conscious because I wanted to be more Caucasian. I tried to get bigger eyes… I would dress preppy.
Michelle Phan
Beauty is the oracle that speaks to us all.
Luis Barragan
A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life.
Jean Ingelow
There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life’s sores the better.
Oscar Wilde
We are often told we can’t have brains and beauty, and I really hope that my message is that you can put on that red lip and curl your hair and put on that power dress – you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other.
Tyra Banks
It is well known that Beauty does not look with a good grace on the timid advances of Humour.
W. Somerset Maugham
The radical otherness of birds is integral to their beauty and their value. They are always among us but never of us. Their indifference to us ought to serve as a chastening reminder that we’re not the measure of all things.
Jonathan Franzen
When you are balanced and when you listen and attend to the needs of your body, mind, and spirit, your natural beauty comes out.
Christy Turlington
Through loyalty to the past, our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow’s joy is possible only if today’s makes way for it; that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one.
Andre Gide
Beauty is the lover’s gift.
William Congreve
There is beauty when something works and it works intuitively.
Jonathan Ive
