Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
-
Beautiful things are so easily broken by the
world.
-
Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover, Fades
in his eye, and palls upon the sense.
-
It is better to be beautiful than to be good.
But ... it is better to be good than to be ugly.
-
For beauty being the best of all we know, sums up the unsearchable and secret aims of nature.
-
I find beauty in unusual things, like hanging
your head out the window or sitting on a fire escape.
-
Beautiful peaches are not always the best
flavored; neither are handsome women the most amiable.
-
What is lovely never dies, But passes into
other loveliness, Star-dust, or sea-foam, flower or winged air.
-
It is foolish to wish for beauty. Sensible
people never either desire it for themselves or care about it in others.
-
If the mind be but well cultivated, and the
heart well disposed, no one ever cares for the exterior beauty.
-
Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is
terrible because it has not been fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles.
Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side.
