Quotations
Beauty
What would beauty be if the whole world were blind?
-Marty Rubin
Beauty isn't just a pretty face, a beautiful body or even a cute voice. Beauty arises from your mind, your soul, and most important your personality. But most people don't seem to notice.
-Emily Gabriela Vira
In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion.
-Immanuel Kant
"Critique of Judgment"
Straight is the line of duty; Curved is the line of beauty; follow the straight line, thou shalt see the curved line ever follow thee.
-William Maccall
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so,
because it serenely disdains to destroy us.
Every angel is terrible.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
"Duino Elegies"
Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Inner beauty, too, needs occasionally to be told it is beautiful.
-Robert Brault
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.
-Elisabeth Kubler Ross "Elisabeth Kubler-Ross"
The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.
-Francis Bacon
