| Kate Forsyth | I love fairy tales because of their haunting beauty and magical strangeness. They are set in worlds where anything can happen.

| Laura Mvula | 'Green Garden' is about beauty and joy and lush green and dance and excitement and smiling from within. | 102 |

| Stewart Udall | Cherish sunsets, wild creatures and wild places. Have a love affair with the wonder and beauty of the earth. | 102 |
| Aasif Mandvi | I think Islam has been hijacked by the idea that all Muslims are terrorists; that Islam is about hate, about war, about jihad - I think that hijacks the spirituality and beauty that exists within Islam. I believe in allowing Islam to be seen in context and in its entirety and being judged on what it really is, not what you think it is. | 102 |
| Auguste Renoir | The pain passes, but the beauty remains. | 102 |
| Ann Nocenti | When my editor sent me the first two images of Joker's daughter, I was struck by how confident she looked despite her boney appearance and horribly scarred face. So I starting thinking, how did Duela gain such confidence in a world that prizes beauty? | 102 |
| Billy Ocean | Suddenly life has new meaning to me, there's beauty up above and things we never take notice of, you wake up suddenly you're in love. | 102 |

| Derek Walcott | Visual surprise is natural in the Caribbean; it comes with the landscape, and faced with its beauty, the sigh of History dissolves. | 102 |
| Eduardo Paes | Rio is an energetic, vibrant place, full of beauty and nature. But we face the kinds of problems any developing metropolis does - with pollution, traffic congestion, poverty. Distribution of green areas, for example, is not uniform. Madureira, the heart of the suburb in Rio, is a concrete jungle. | 102 |
| Emma McLaughlin | A Hallmark card with paragraphs about my beauty written by a stranger is vaguely depressing. | 102 |
| Frank Norris | Truth is a thing immortal and perpetual, and it gives to us a beauty that fades not away in time. | 102 |

| Jane Smiley | I discovered that the horse is life itself, a metaphor but also an example of life's mystery and unpredictability, of life's generosity and beauty, a worthy object of repeated and ever changing contemplation. | 102 |
| Jennifer Garner | Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places, and your frown lines aren't too bad, what more do you need? | 102 |
| Justin Cronin | My theory of characterization is basically this: Put some dirt on a hero, and put some sunshine on the villain, one brush stroke of beauty on the villain. | 102 |
| Lascelles Abercrombie | But the gravest difficulty, and perhaps the most important, in poetry meant solely for recitation, is the difficulty of achieving verbal beauty, or rather of making verbal beauty tell. | 102 |
| Luise Rainer | I have never had a current state of mind. My mind changes a great deal. I am very affected by any sorrow or sad thing, and I am very affected by joy and beauty. | 102 |
| Martina McBride | I think we should all be tolerant of each other and embrace each others' strengths and differences and uniqueness and beauty. | 102 |
| Nathaniel Buzolic | I do love to capture beauty in this world. And photos can last the test of time. | 102 |

| Paul D. Boyer | A painstaking course in qualitative and quantitative analysis by John Wing gave me an appreciation of the need for, and beauty of, accurate measurement. | 102 |
| Peggy Fleming | 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. | 102 |

| Sheherazade Goldsmith | Conservation is key to preserving many of the world's natural beauty spots, so do your best to help by keeping to designated footpaths and being a discerning souvenir collector. | 102 |
| Shilpa Shetty | The grass is always greener on the other side. We are busy applying fairness creams while people in the West go bare-bodied on the beach to get a tan. Indian girls have ruled the roost when it comes to beauty pageants. I flaunt my complexion, and I am proud to be noticed as an Indian wherever I go. | 102 |
| Timothy Radcliffe | Celibacy is not just a matter of not having sex. It is a way of admiring a person for their humanity, maybe even for their beauty. | 102 |

| Alexander Herzen | What breadth, what beauty and power of human nature and development there must be in a woman to get over all the palisades, all the fences, within which she is held captive! | 102 |
| Amanda Peet | Beauty is only skin deep. If you go after someone just because she's beautiful but don't have anything to talk about, it's going to get boring fast. You want to look beyond the surface and see if you can have fun or if you have anything in common with this person. | 102 |
| Anthony Marra | Ever since studying in Russia as a college student, I had been in a long-distance, one-sided love affair with Chechnya's remarkable history, culture and rugged natural beauty. | 102 |

| David Remnick | The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy. The caravan keeps moving on, and the job of the longform writer or filmmaker or radio broadcaster is to stop - is to pause - and when the caravan goes away, that's when this stuff comes. | 102 |
| Edwin Way Teale | For the mind disturbed, the still beauty of dawn is nature's finest balm. | 102 |

| Morgan Wootten | 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. | 102 |
| Madhuri Dixit | Looking beautiful isn't just about what you apply on your face. It's the little things you do that matter. A combination of a good diet, exercise, healthy habits, discipline, dancing etc. is what my beauty routine consists of. Also, I have no bad habits; I don't drink or smoke. All these contribute to me being fit and looking good. | 102 |
| Moshe Safdie | Beauty connotes humanity. We call a natural object beautiful because we see that its form expresses fitness, the perfect fulfillment of function. | 102 |
| Rachel Joyce | I think of myself as a very ordinary person. I like writing about the juxtaposition between people: the beauty of them at times and then the banal, everyday context in which we find ourselves. | 102 |
| Thomas Kincade | Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage. | 102 |

| Alicia Machado | Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime. | 102 |
| April Gornik | My work is about the underbelly of the beauty of nature - and the dark side of nature is its indifference. Nature isn't friendly, nor is it unfriendly - it's the perfect embodiment of the Other. | 102 |
| James Thomson | I know no subject more elevating, more amazing, more ready to the poetical enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment than the works of nature. Where can we meet such variety, such beauty, such magnificence? | 102 |
| Judith Jamison | People come to see beauty, and I dance to give it to them. | 102 |

| Meagan Good | The beauty of having short hair is that I actually can wash and style it at home! | 102 |
| Munshi Premchand | Beauty doesn't need ornaments. Softness can't bear the weight of ornaments. | 102 |

| Conrad Hall | There is a kind of beauty in imperfection. | 103 |
| Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton | In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves. | 103 |

Natural beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes, but if you think surgery would right something you have a problem with, then why shouldn't you do it? | 103 |
| Naomi Wolf | No matter what a woman's appearance may be, it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society. | 103 |
| Oscar Niemeyer | My work is not about 'form follows function,' but 'form follows beauty' or, even better, 'form follows feminine.' | 103 |

| Thomas Leonard | Integrity reveals beauty. | 103 |

| Gloria Reuben | The destruction of the natural beauty, the ecosystems, and the majesty of mountains affect us in ways we're not even aware of. Every time a mountain is beheaded, we chop off a little part of our souls. | 103 |

Each word is so valued that the letters forming it are seen as objects of solemn beauty. | 103 |
| Jen Lancaster | Beauty pageants, you're only judged once. Sorority rush, you have to go through 20 parties. | 103 |
| Moshe Safdie | He who seeks truth shall find beauty. He who seeks beauty shall find vanity. He who seeks order shall find gratification. He who seeks gratification shall be disappointed. He who considers himself the servant of his fellow beings shall find the joy of self-expression. He who seeks self-expression shall fall into the pit of arrogance. | 103 |
| Roy Barnes | We live in a state with a wonderful climate and plenty of natural beauty, from the shores of Cumberland Island to the Chattahoochee River to the Blue Ridge Mountains. | 103 |

| Samuel Ullman | In the central place of every heart, there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, you are young. | 103 |
| Dale Archer | 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. | 103 |
| Jeff Greenfield | This is part of the involuntary bargain we make with the world just by being alive.

Of course, beauty does arise in a cultural context. No one ever denies that. But there's also a natural response people have to it. | 103 |
| Joseph Wood Krutch | If we do not permit the earth to produce beauty and joy, it will in the end not produce food, either. | 103 |

| Maria Bello | I was always anti-marriage. I didn't understand monogamy. I couldn't figure out how that could last. And then I met Bryn and I started to understand the beauty of constancy and history and change and going on the roller coaster with someone - of having a partner in life. | 103 |

| Mark Feuerstein | The closest thing I use to beauty products is the grease on the pizza from John's Pizzeria. | 103 |
| Jessica Ennis | My idea of beauty is somebody that doesn't have to try too much, someone who is effortless and fresh. | 103 |
| Max Bill | Far from creating a new formalism, what these can yield is something far transcending surface values since they not only embody form as beauty, but also form in which intuitions or ideas or conjectures have taken visible substance. | 103 |

| John Keats | 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' - that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. | 104 |
| Joyce Meyer | Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree. | 104 |
| Chrissy Teigen | My beauty tricks revolve around eyes. For the early morning shoots, I pop eye pads in the freezer the night before, and when I take them out in the morning they are already cold and active and are great under my eyes. I keep my eye pads right next to my red velvet Ben & Jerry's in the freezer. | 104 |
| Dave Reichert | Congress has an obligation to protect our country's natural beauty, embodied in our nation's parks, rivers, and breathtaking landscapes. | 104 |
| Ellsworth Huntington | We are learning, too, that the love of beauty is one of Nature's greatest healers. | 104 |

| Frederick Sanger | When I was young my Father used to tell me that the two most worthwhile pursuits in life were the pursuit of truth and of beauty and I believe that Alfred Nobel must have felt much the same when he gave these prizes for literature and the sciences. | 104 |

| Pamela Anderson | Natural beauty takes at least two hours in front of a mirror. | 104 |
| Paul Dirac | It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one's equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress. | 104 |
| Paul Klee | Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus, there exists no beautiful woman, none at all, because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first. | 104 |
| Pope Paul VI | 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. | 104 |
| Tila Tequila | This is so cliche, but my beauty icon would have to be Angelina Jolie. She looks like she wears natural makeup, but she's still beautiful. | 104 |
| Vince Gill | 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. | 104 |
| Vladimir Kramnik | I believe every chess player senses beauty, when he succeeds in creating situations, which contradict the expectations and the rules, and he succeeds in mastering this situation. | 104 |
| Walter Hagen | It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the romantic character in art. | 104 |
| Zoe Sugg | When life catches up with us, we all need space to dream and indulge, so I have created my own special range of bath & beauty loveliness to help you find your happy place. | 104 |
| Albrecht Durer | No single man can be taken as a model for a perfect figure, for no man lives on earth who is endowed with the whole of beauty. | 104 |
| Annie Dillard | 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. | 104 |
| Annie Lennox | Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries. | 104 |
| Candice Swanepoel | I was always interested in fashion and beauty. I was fifteen when I was scouted in a flea market. Two years later, I arrived in New York. I was in awe because it was like another planet. | 104 |
| Charlie Haden | We're here to bring beauty to the world and make a difference in this planet. That's what art forms are about. | 104 |
| Daniel Burnham | It was Chicago with its World's Fair which vivified the national desire for civic beauty. | 104 |
| Edward Steichen | 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. | 104 |
| Erin O'Connor | I am concerned about ageism and the loss of beauty - the perception that as you grow older, you 'lose your looks,' which I think is diabolical. | 104 |
| Gian Carlo Menotti | Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding. | 104 |
| Hayden Panettiere | I remember reminding myself that beauty is an opinion, not a fact. And it has always made me feel better. | 104 |
| Kim Alexis | 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. | 104 |
| Lauren Graham | I didn't grow up identifying with beauty. I grew up thinking I could be smart and funny - those are the things I got feedback on. | 104 |
| Mahmoud Darwish | Poetry and beauty are always making peace. When you read something beautiful you find coexistence; it breaks walls down. | 104 |
| Mike Figgis | There's a sadness to the human condition that I think music is good for. It gives a counterpoint to the visual beauty, and adds depth to pictures that they wouldn't have if the music wasn't there. | 104 |
| Naya Rivera | I will admit to hoarding beauty products. I'm a beauty lady. | 104 |
| Sarah McLachlan | There's beauty everywhere. There are amazing things happening everywhere, you just have to be able to open your eyes and witness it. Some days, that's harder than others. | 104 |
| Sophia Amoruso | Nothing will teach you more about perceived value than taking something with literally no value and selling it in the auction format. It teaches you the beauty and power of presentation, and how you can make magic out of nothing. | 104 |
| Susan Estrich | I'm always suspicious of really beautiful women telling us we shouldn't be worried about beauty. | 104 |
| Tia Carrere | Beauty lasts five minutes. Maybe longer if you have a good plastic surgeon. | 104 |
| Bayard Taylor | True, when you behold Damascus from the Salahiyeh, the last slope of the Anti-Lebanon, it is the realization of all that you have dreamed of Oriental splendor; the world has no picture more dazzling. It is Beauty carried to the Sublime, as I have felt when overlooking some boundless forest of palms within the tropics. | 104 |
| Candice Bergen | Beauty set up distance between other people and me. It warped their behavior. | 104 |
| Connor Franta | When a moment in front of me appears to be particularly special, whether it be by beauty or experience, I capture it. I usually find a reason to justify taking that photo - symmetry, or color, or contrast - and it's my hope that my photography sheds light onto what I see and do on a daily basis. | 104 |
| Manuel Puig | I like the beauty of Faulkner's poetry. But I don't like his themes, not at all. | 104 |
| Paolo Sorrentino | Going around Rome, you can find beauty because, quite simply, Rome is very beautiful. But the beauty of the people is sometimes harder to discover. | 104 |
| Ted Dekker | For me, writing is an experience. It's an exercise in which I want to discover myself by taking my characters to the edges of human experience, to the edges of themselves and then, asking certain questions - about love, what does it mean to love? What's beauty? What is true beauty? | 104 |
| Chrisette Michele | Truth is, I cut my hair for freedom, not for beauty. | 104 |
| Christian Serratos | Some days, I know beauty techniques like it's my job, and other days I can't do my makeup for the life of me. So I find it easiest to just put on mineral veil and a little mascara and call it a day. I use Physician's Formula and Bare Minerals every day of my life. | 104 |
| Clive Barker | Though I respect hugely the effort and the care and the beauty of games, I want to be working with people who want to create the 'War & Peace' of games, the 'Citizen Kane' of games, and not just be warming up George Romero. | 104 |
| Gerard Manley Hopkins | Beauty is a relation, and the apprehension of it a comparison. | 104 |
| James Fenton | An aria in an opera - Handel's 'Ombra mai fu,' for example - gets along with an incredibly small number of words and ideas and a large amount of variation and repetition. That's the beauty of it. It's not taxing to the listener's intelligence because if you haven't heard it the first time round, it'll come around again. | 104 |
| Jane Seymour | Beauty is a radiance that originates from within and comes from inner security and strong character. | 104 |
| John Millington Synge | Every article on these islands has an almost personal character, which gives this simple life, where all art is unknown, something of the artistic beauty of medieval life. | 104 |
| Marguerite Young | All my writing is about the recognition that there is no single reality. But the beauty of it is that you nevertheless go on, walking towards utopia, which may not exist, on a bridge which might end before you reach the other side. | 104 |
| Mstislav Rostropovich | Baalbek is so beautiful. It is the heart of beauty in the Middle East - I want to embrace these people with my music. I will try so hard for them. Their president is a Christian, their prime minister is a Muslim. Music is for everyone. | 104 |
| Polykarp Kusch | Science shows us truth and beauty and fills each day with a fresh wonder of the exquisite order which governs our world. | 104 |
| Ruth St. Denis | The real message of the Dance opens up the vistas of life to all who have the urge to express beauty with no other instrument than their own bodies, with no apparatus and no dependence on anything other than space. | 104 |
| Maggie Grace | 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? | 104 |
| Ally Condie | The beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds - but we still have the power to change our own. | 104 |
| Carl Van Vechten | As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats; I am only surprised that all do not. | 104 |
| Alfred Jarry | It is conventional to call 'monster' any blending of dissonant elements. I call 'monster' every original inexhaustible beauty. | 104 |
| Jenifer Lewis | I don't have any beauty shop memories. I remember the barber shop. | 104 |
| Mahatma Gandhi | When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator. | 105 |
| Francis Bacon | The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express. | 105 |
| D. H. Lawrence | Sex and beauty are inseparable, like life and consciousness. And the intelligence which goes with sex and beauty, and arises out of sex and beauty, is intuition. | 105 |
| Robert Louis Stevenson | It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit. | 105 |
| Annie Besant | What, after all, is the object of education? To train the body in health, vigor and grace, so that it may express the emotions in beauty and the mind with accuracy and strength. | 105 |
| Cat Stevens | 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. | 105 |
| Celine Dion | I was not a good-lookin' girl. I was extremely skinny. I wasn't pretty. I wasn't cool. | 105 |
| Charles Churchill | To copy beauty forfeits all pretense to fame; to copy faults is want of sense. | 105 |
| Dieter F. Uchtdorf | There is a beauty and clarity that comes from simplicity that we sometimes do not appreciate in our thirst for intricate solutions. | 105 |
| Eartha Kitt | Aging has a wonderful beauty and we should have respect for that. | 105 |
| Fay Weldon | Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away. | 105 |
| George Matthew Adams | Beauty of expression is so akin to the voice of the sea. | 105 |
| Isabella Rossellini | Women who stay true to themselves are always more interesting and beautiful to me: women like Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe and Anna Magnani - women who have style, chic, allure and elegance. They didn't submit to any standard of beauty - they defined it. | 105 |
| Lily Tomlin | If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library? | 105 |
| Lindsay Lohan | Beauty is grace and confidence. I've learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me. | 105 |
| Liv Tyler | There is no definition of beauty, but when you can see someone's spirit coming through, something unexplainable, that's beautiful to me. | 105 |
| Louisa May Alcott | Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. | 105 |
| Mike Krzyzewski | To me, teamwork is the beauty of our sport, where you have five acting as one. You become selfless. | 105 |
| Miuccia Prada | Fashion fosters cliches of beauty, but I want to tear them apart. | 105 |
| Orison Swett Marden | 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. | 105 |
| Steve Gleason | I have moments where I miss my old self. But I think anyone can get caught up in what we used to have. But at the same time, we can choose to focus on the beauty of now. | 105 |
| Tom Hodgkinson | Beauty, pleasure, freedom and plenty of sleep: these are the hallmarks of a successful idler's break. Travel should not be hard work. | 105 |
| Tom Wolfe | This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave. | 105 |
| Vladimir Kramnik | In chess one cannot control everything. Sometimes a game takes an unexpected turn, in which beauty begins to emerge. Both players are always instrumental in this. | 105 |
| Walter Pater | What is important, then, is not that the critic should possess a correct abstract definition of beauty for the intellect, but a certain kind of temperament, the power of being deeply moved by the presence of beautiful objects. | 105 |
| Xenophon | For what the horse does under compulsion, as Simon also observes, is done without understanding; and there is no beauty in it either, any more than if one should whip and spur a dancer. | 105 |
| Alfred de Vigny | Art ought never to be considered except in its relations with its ideal beauty. | 105 |
| Daniel Burnham | Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. | 105 |
| Dimebag Darrell | When I tried to play something and screwed up, I'd hear some other note that would come into play. Then I started trying different things to find the beauty in it. | 105 |
| George William Russell | Our hearts were drunk with a beauty Our eyes could never see. | 105 |
| Hayden Panettiere | I like to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to a cause so that I have more impact. My goal is to shed light on the beauty of the ocean and how important it is for our planet. | 105 |
| Joan Collins | We live in a quick-fix society where we need instant gratification for everything. Too fat? Get lipo-sucked. Stringy hair? Glue on extensions. Wrinkles and lines? Head to the beauty shop for a pot of the latest miracle skin stuff. It's all a beautiful £1 billion con foisted upon insecure women by canny cosmetic conglomerates. | 105 |
| Katherine Anne Porter | The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty, even one's own even more, one's own, for that has been put in our care and we are responsible for its well-being. | 105 |
| Keri Russell | It's sad when girls think they don't have anything going on except being pretty. | 105 |
| Matthew Fox | Do not confuse beauty with beautiful. Beautiful is a human judgment. Beauty is All. The difference is everything. | 105 |
| Stewart Udall | The auto industry must acknowledge that a rational transportation policy should seek a balance between individual convenience, the efficient use of limited resources, and urban-living values that protect spaciousness, natural beauty, and human-scale mobility. | 105 |
| W. H. Davies | As long as I love Beauty I am young. | 105 |
| James Caan | Some guys say beauty is only skin deep. But when you walk into a party, you don't see somebody's brain. The initial contact has to be the sniffing. | 105 |
| James Salter | I like aristocracy. I like the beauty of aristocracy. I like the hierarchical feeling. | 105 |
| Jennifer Garner | 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. | 105 |
| Laurie Holden | The beauty of 'The Walking Dead' and the beauty of being on a television show for a while, is that, it's your backstory, it's part of what you are, it's what you carry with you every day. | 105 |
| Lisa Bonet | What saddens me is the corruption of youth and beauty, and the loss of soul, which is only replaced by money. | 105 |
| Mary Lambert | Beauty, by way of fashion, has to do with confidence, with flattering silhouettes, with patterns, with proper fit for body type, and with an abundance of self-love! | 105 |
| Rem Koolhaas | 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. | 105 |
| Richard Armour | Beauty is only skin deep, and the world is full of thin skinned people. | 105 |
| Charles M. Blow | All identity labels are umbrella terms to some degree, but this term 'bisexual' is not only serviceable, but it is sufficient. And yes, it brings together a bunch of people who are maybe shades different from one another. And maybe that's the beauty of labels: that they force you to be with other people and see the difference. | 105 |
| David Amram | We had common interests in the beauty of the French language. We both had a tremendous love of jazz. We shared dreams of getting married and having a family, living in the country, leading an idyllic life. | 105 |
| Douglas Sirk | In the 19th century, you had bourgeois art without politics - an almost frozen idea of what beauty is. | 105 |

| Robert Motherwell | Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you will be beauty. There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail. | 105 |
| Chandler Parsons | I like a girl with natural beauty. | 105 |
| Rose Schneiderman | Surely these women won't lose any more of their beauty and charm by putting a ballot in a ballot box once a year than they are likely to lose standing in foundries or laundries all year round. There is no harder contest than the contest for bread, let me tell you that. | 105 |
| Roman Abramovich | Money plays an important role in football, but it is not the dominating factor. When Chelsea play a Carling Cup game in a small city, and it could result in a draw - the excitement, the spirit, the atmosphere - that's the real beauty of football in England. | 105 |
| Audrey Hepburn | 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. | 106 |
| Nikos Kazantzakis | Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive. | 106 |
| William Butler Yeats | I heard the old, old, men say 'all that's beautiful drifts away, like the waters.' | 106 |
| Alan Alda | What is beauty, anyway? It's more than something pleasant looking. If it doesn't stop us in our tracks and make us unable to move for a moment, unable to put into words what's closing off the breath in our throats, then maybe it's pretty, but it probably isn't beauty. | 106 |
| Christina Rossetti | She gave up beauty in her tender youth, gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways; she covered up her eyes lest they should gaze on vanity, and chose the bitter truth. | 106 |
| David Byrne | Real beauty knocks you a little bit off kilter. | 106 |
| E. M. Forster | Nonsense and beauty have close connections. | 106 |
| Evangeline Lilly | I'm from Canada, and New Zealand feels like you took all the best bits of Canada and squished them onto a tiny island like Hawaii. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the South Island. | 106 |
| George Jean Nathan | Beauty makes idiots sad and wise men merry. | 106 |
| Imelda Staunton | We're in a world that celebrates things: success, beauty, money. And I reckon that's really about 4 per cent of the world. The rest of us are just getting on with it. | 106 |
| Kevyn Aucoin | While traveling around the world, I've had the opportunity to work with every living beauty icon. I've learned to appreciate idiosyncrasy. The fact is, there is really no such thing as 'normal' - everybody's different, and that is the essence of their beauty. | 106 |
| Kirsten Dunst | When I go away to do a movie, I bring the blanket I've had since I was a little girl. It helps me sleep. I also always bring my laptop so I can E-mail friends. And I bring my dog, Beauty, wherever I can. | 106 |
| Laurence J. Peter | Every girl should use what Mother Nature gave her before Father Time takes it away. | 106 |
| Linda Evangelista | On days when I do not work, I am working on my image. I have to hit the gym. I have beauty appointments. I have to work toward my next job and maintaining my image, just like an athlete. | 106 |
| Milan Kundera | How goodness heightens beauty! | 106 |
| Nhat Hanh | When we recognise the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection; love is born. | 106 |
| Rufus Wainwright | I've developed into quite a swan. I'm one of those people that will probably look better and better as I get older until I drop dead of beauty. | 106 |
| Vladimir Kramnik | Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game. | 106 |
| William Congreve | Beauty is the lover's gift. | 106 |
| Xenophon | A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor. | 106 |
| Andre Leon Talley | I like the idea of being warm and secure. That's what home should be. That you have a sense of warmth, security, love, and you love the things around you and surround yourself with beauty. | 106 |
| Boris Pasternak | 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. | 106 |
| Carlos Ruiz Zafon | The Cemetery of Forgotten Books is a metaphor, not just for books but for ideas, for language, for knowledge, for beauty, for all the things that make us human, for collecting memory. | 106 |
| Christo | 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. | 106 |
| Daniel Tammet | Aesthetics - rather than reason - shapes our thought processes. First comes aesthetics, then logic. 'Thinking in Numbers' is not about an attempt to impress the reader but to include the reader, draw the reader in, by explaining my experiences - the beauty I feel in a prime number, for example. | 106 |
| Doris Day | Well I do find the beauty in animals. I find beauty everywhere. I find beauty in my garden. | 106 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | Nothing you'll read as breaking news will ever hold a candle to the sheer beauty of settled science. Textbook science has carefully phrased explanations for new students, math derived step by step, plenty of experiments as illustration, and test problems. | 106 |
| Helena Christensen | There will always be a desire for something new, fresh and innovative, as well as a yearning and respect for timeless elegance and beauty. | 106 |
| Henry Drummond | Strength of character may be learned at work, but beauty of character is learned at home. | 106 |
| Jean Paul Gaultier | I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don't expect it. | 106 |
| Jerry Saltz | I love Rauschenberg. I love that he created a turning point in visual history, that he redefined the idea of beauty, that he combined painting, sculpture, photography, and everyday life with such gall, and that he was interested in, as he put it, 'the ability to conceive failure as progress.' | 106 |
| Joan Collins | The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer. | 106 |
| John O'Donohue | The human soul is hungry for beauty; we seek it everywhere - in landscape, music, art, clothes, furniture, gardening, companionship, love, religion, and in ourselves. No one would desire not to be beautiful. When we experience the beautiful, there is a sense of homecoming. | 106 |
| Marc Jacobs | 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. | 106 |
| Candice Bergen | Though beauty gives you a weird sense of entitlement, it's rather frightening and threatening to have others ascribe such importance to something you know you're just renting for a while. | 106 |
| Edward Witten | One of the basic things about a string is that it can vibrate in many different shapes or forms, which gives music its beauty. | 106 |
| Marianne Moore | Beauty is everlasting And dust is for a time. | 106 |
| Sharon Tate | My definition of love is being full. Complete. It makes everything lighter. Beauty is something you see. Love is something you feel. | 106 |
| Shinichi Suzuki | What is man's ultimate direction in life? It is to look for love, truth, virtue, and beauty. | 106 |
| Theophile Gautier | Art is beauty, the perpetual invention of detail, the choice of words, the exquisite care of execution. | 106 |
| Gustave Courbet | 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. | 106 |
| Janelle Monae | Some songs you get. Some songs you may not. And I think that's the beauty of art: to question and to ask, to understand the deeper meaning after two or three or four listenings. | 106 |
| Marcus du Sautoy | 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. | 106 |
| Jamie Zawinski | Of course, all of the software I write runs on Linux; that's the beauty of standards, and of cross-platform code. I don't have to run your OS, and you don't have to run mine, and we can use the same applications anyway! | 106 |
| Jean Genet | I recognize in thieves, traitors and murderers, in the ruthless and the cunning, a deep beauty - a sunken beauty. | 106 |
| June Jordan | There are two ways to worry words. One is hoping for the greatest possible beauty in what is created. The other is to tell the truth. | 106 |
| John Muir | Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. | 107 |
| Dennis Prager | 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? | 107 |
| Jamie Lee Curtis | I've etched out who I am through myriad haircut attempts, outfit attempts, beauty attempts, diet attempts. It's been an evolution. | 107 |
| James A. Baldwin | 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. | 107 |
| Bryan Procter | O human beauty, what a dream art thou, that we should cast our life and hopes away on thee! | 107 |
| Charles Lamb | Let us live for the beauty of our own reality. | 107 |
| Chris Rock | The thing that surprised me the most is just how much money women that weren't rich were paying for their hair. When you're in a beauty parlor in Harlem next to abandoned buildings and somebody's paying five grand for a weave, that's a bit much. | 107 |
| Friedrich Schiller | Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom. | 107 |
| Joyce Giraud | I always believe that if you feel good and look happy, you're always going to be beautiful. My one actual beauty trick is pretty cliche: Never, ever go to bed with your makeup on. | 107 |
| Kathy Ireland | Beauty comes from the inside. | 107 |
| Kevin McCloud | 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. | 107 |
| Kevyn Aucoin | Beauty has a lot to do with character. | 107 |
| Loretta Young | Like charity, I believe glamour should begin at home. | 107 |
| Marina and the Diamonds | I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative. | 107 |
| Meryl Streep | I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do. | 107 |
| Monica Bellucci | Beauty is a gift, just like good health or intelligence. The only thing is not to be proud of being beautiful. Because you didn't do anything - it was given to you. | 107 |
| Nawal El Saadawi | I am very much against makeup and high heels and all that we inherit as 'beauty.' | 107 |
| Quentin Bryce | The thing we often forget to talk about, or perhaps we take for granted, is our country's dazzling beauty. Our natural environment is so much a part of Australia's art, writing, music and culture, both indigenous and non indigenous. | 107 |
| Shirley Manson | People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty. | 107 |
| Tadao Ando | You can't really say what is beautiful about a place, but the image of the place will remain vividly with you. | 107 |
| Usher | The beauty about living in Atlanta is that there aren't too many paparazzi here; you can just relax. And that really works for me and my children. | 107 |
| Van Morrison | Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it. | 107 |
| Vladimir Kramnik | For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression. | 107 |
| Ayaan Hirsi Ali | I'd love to go and visit the Mosque in Mecca again, just for the sheer beauty of it, not for God - much the way a non-Catholic might go to Vatican City because of the beauty of the buildings and the artifacts. | 107 |
| Cindy Margolis | Having inner beauty is something you develop on your own, and I like to think I have that. | 107 |
| Daniel Tammet | My mother is not a model. She is not perfect. That awareness is part of learning to love someone. Predicting the actions of someone is an act of love. We persist, even when we get it wrong. That's the beauty of love. | 107 |
| Gwendoline Christie | The beauty of existence is that we get past the superficialities and material world and hopefully move into - lord - hopefully a bit of depth. | 107 |
| Hayley Atwell | I can't imagine it if beauty was the only currency I used as an actress. It just doesn't interest me. | 107 |
| John O'Donohue | Beauty does not linger; it only visits. Yet beauty's visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm; it calls us to feel, think and act beautifully in the world: to create and live a life that awakens the Beautiful. A life without delight is only half a life. | 107 |
| Lafcadio Hearn | But every great scripture, whether Hebrew, Indian, Persian, or Chinese, apart from its religious value will be found to have some rare and special beauty of its own; and in this respect the original Bible stands very high as a monument of sublime poetry and of artistic prose. | 107 |
| Liya Kebede | 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. | 107 |
| Natalia Vodianova | When you are at the bottom, you find beauty in such little things, and goodness in such little gestures. When I compare any struggle today to ones that I may have had in my childhood, there is nothing that can bring me down. | 107 |
| Plautus | I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within. | 107 |
| Evelyn Underhill | All things are perceived in the light of charity, and hence under the aspect of beauty; for beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love. | 107 |
| Jacqueline Bisset | A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful. | 107 |
| Maria Mitchell | There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness. | 107 |
| Studs Terkel | I want, of course, peace, grace, and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it. | 107 |
| Gertrude Jekyll | 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. | 107 |
| Sylvia Kristel | I have a talent for happiness. I look with the eyes of a painter, and I see beauty. | 107 |
| Sara Teasdale | Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break. | 107 |
| Jeff Beck | Sometimes when I do an overdub solo, they'll keep four or five of my attempts and then mix the bits that they like to make a solo up out of them. It's not against the rules, really - I can learn my own solos, then. But that's the whole beauty of multi-track recording, isn't it? | 107 |
| Frank Lloyd Wright | The architect should strive continually to simplify; the ensemble of the rooms should then be carefully considered that comfort and utility may go hand in hand with beauty. | 108 |
| Leo Tolstoy | It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. | 108 |
| Adriana Lima | 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. | 108 |
| Anthony Kiedis | It seems like the chaos of this world is accelerating, but so is the beauty in the consciousness of more and more people. | 108 |
| Bobbi Brown | Personalized beauty is about each woman being able to create her own makeup routine that complements her coloring and style. | 108 |
| Debbie Ford | It is still breathtaking to me to watch people bring love, preciousness and kindness to their inner world, allowing the light of God to shine through their eyes so that the beauty of their soul can come forth. | 108 |
| Elliott Erwitt | I appreciate simplicity, true beauty that lasts over time, and a little wit and eclecticism that make life more fun. | 108 |
| Halle Berry | 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. | 108 |
| Hilary Swank | It's how you look at beauty. Is it only an outward appearance with hair and makeup and a hot body, or is it something deeper than that? | 108 |
| Iqbal Quadir | A lot of technologies in the world were unusual in the beginning, and became standard. That's the beauty of bottom-up entrepreneurship and innovations. | 108 |
| John Milton | Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown in courts, at feasts, and high solemnities, where most may wonder at the workmanship. | 108 |
| Kenny G | Any saxophone player will have those influences come through in their music in a very different way. I can listen to the same 10 sax players as someone else for my entire life, and we'll both play completely differently. That's the beauty of being a musician. | 108 |
| Kevyn Aucoin | Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction. | 108 |
| Lewis Mumford | 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. | 108 |
| Octavia Spencer | I hope that in some way that I can be some sort of beacon of hope, especially because I am not the typical Hollywood beauty. | 108 |
| Oliver Goldsmith | 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! | 108 |
| Ovid | Beauty is a fragile gift. | 108 |
| Rachel Zoe | On one hand I am this weird androgynous tomboy where I'm strangely low maintenance and have a five-minute makeup regimen. On the other I'm obsessed with all things beauty, from skin care to makeup. | 108 |
| Roberto Benigni | My duty is to try to reach beauty. Cinema is emotion. When you laugh you cry. | 108 |
| Victoria Justice | It's nice to just embrace the natural beauty within you. | 108 |
| W. Somerset Maugham | Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all. | 108 |
| Walter Mosley | My father always taught by telling stories about his experiences. His lessons were about morality and art and what insects and birds and human beings had in common. He told me what it meant to be a man and to be a Black man. He taught me about love and responsibility, about beauty, and how to make gumbo. | 108 |
| Walter Pater | Such discussions help us very little to enjoy what has been well done in art or poetry, to discriminate between what is more and what is less excellent in them, or to use words like beauty, excellence, art, poetry, with a more precise meaning than they would otherwise have. | 108 |
| Albrecht Durer | What beauty is, I know not, though it adheres to many things. | 108 |
| Andre Breton | Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all. | 108 |
| Bernardo Bertolucci | I like being able to see an innocence in people. I see a lot of beauty in youth. Young people are in progress. Their faces and bodies and minds are constantly changing. It's exciting to capture that on film. | 108 |
| Donella Meadows | 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. | 108 |
| Ellen Page | As a girl, you're supposed to love Sleeping Beauty. I mean, who wants to love Sleeping Beauty when you can be Aladdin? | 108 |
| Emmanuelle Chriqui | The beauty of voice-over work is that maybe you come in and record once every two weeks for a couple of hours and do a couple episodes a session. It's awesome! You spend an afternoon playing in the booth, and there you have it. It doesn't interfere with much. | 108 |
| Jeanne Moreau | Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge. | 108 |
| Jeb Bush | Who among us has never looked up into the heavens on a starlit night, lost in wonder at the vastness of space and the beauty of the stars? | 108 |
| Louie Schwartzberg | Nature's beauty is a gift that cultivates appreciation and gratitude. | 108 |
| Marc Jacobs | I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting. | 108 |
| Nancy Friday | Women's behavior in handling beauty, even before feminism, was to deny they had any. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. | 108 |
| Bayard Taylor | I envy those old Greek bathers, into whose hands were delivered Pericles, and Alcibiades, and the perfect models of Phidias. They had daily before their eyes the highest types of Beauty which the world has ever produced; for of all things that are beautiful, the human body is the crown. | 108 |
| John Piper | The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty. | 108 |
| Patrick Demarchelier | I do like beauty, but an older woman can be beautiful and a clever woman is beautiful because that beauty shines through. | 108 |
| Rachel Bilson | I think beauty comes from within, and society paints a ridiculous picture. | 108 |
| Sarah Bernhardt | The truth, the absolute truth, is that the chief beauty for the theatre consists in fine bodily proportions. | 108 |
| John Eldredge | 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. | 108 |
| Mstislav Rostropovich | 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. | 108 |
| Jean Anouilh | Beauty is one of the rare things which does not lead to doubt of God. | 108 |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson | Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world. | 109 |
| H. P. Lovecraft | 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! | 109 |
| Agnes Martin | When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection. | 109 |
| Christopher Marlowe | Goodness is beauty in the best estate. | 109 |
| Christy Turlington | I sincerely feel that beauty largely comes from within. | 109 |
| David Hockney | The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist. | 109 |
| Douglas Horton | Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant. | 109 |
| Florence King | Americans worship creativity the way they worship physical beauty - as a way of enjoying elitism without guilt: God did it. | 109 |
| George Henry Lewes | Endeavour to be faithful, and if there is any beauty in your thought, your style will be beautiful; if there is any real emotion to express, the expression will be moving. | 109 |
| Helen Fisher | Natural beauty really entices men. They will tell you this time and time again, and studies consistently prove it. | 109 |
| Jada Pinkett Smith | We have to nurture our young women and understand the beauty and the strength of being a woman. It's kind of a catch-22: Strength in women isn't appreciated, and vulnerability in women isn't appreciated. It's like, 'What the hell do you do?' What you do is you don't allow anyone to dictate who you are. | 109 |
| John Donne | Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies. | 109 |
| Joyce Giraud | Especially as a title-holder, you can do great things with charities, because people suddenly care about what you have to say. I wanted to make a difference, which is why I created the Queen of the Universe pageant. I want to change all of those stigmas in the beauty pageant world. | 109 |
| Kate Reardon | No matter how irrelevant social class now is, even the most eager egalitarian must be quietly proud that the posh English rose is still an industry standard for peerlessly sophisticated beauty. | 109 |
| Kevyn Aucoin | That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me. | 109 |
| Michael Stipe | So, we just kind of created our own thing and that's part of the beauty of Athens: is that it's so off the map and there's no way you could ever be the East Village or an L.A. scene or a San Francisco scene, that it just became its own thing. | 109 |
| Nolan Bushnell | 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. | 109 |
| Paloma Picasso | I think, aesthetically, car design is so interesting - the dashboards, the steering wheels, and the beauty of the mechanics. I don't know how any of it works, I don't want to know, but it's inspirational. | 109 |
| Simone Weil | 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. | 109 |
| Valentino Garavani | I love my beauty. It's not my fault. | 109 |
| Vivien Leigh | People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap. | 109 |
| Yann Arthus-Bertrand | The lions taught me photography. They taught me patience and the sense of beauty, a beauty that penetrates you. | 109 |
| Aldo Leopold | A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise. | 109 |
| Boris Pasternak | I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed its beauty to them. | 109 |
| Gary Hamel | Remarkable contributions are typically spawned by a passionate commitment to transcendent values such as beauty, truth, wisdom, justice, charity, fidelity, joy, courage and honor. | 109 |
| Jean-Luc Godard | 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. | 109 |
| Joan Collins | I never thought I was particularly good looking. But when I see old photographs, I realise that I was. I do wish I had known that at the time because beauty is power. I didn't realise how lucky I was to be young, beautiful and in Hollywood. It didn't hit me. Every day I woke up, went to the film studio and just got on with it. | 109 |
| Ricky Schroder | I didn't grow up around wild horses, no. But I've appreciated their beauty and their power ever since I can remember. | 109 |
| Roberto Cavalli | I really admire a woman for her intelligence, her personality. Beauty is not enough. | 109 |
| Arne Jacobsen | Proportions are what makes the old Greek temples classic in their beauty. They are like huge blocks, from which the air has been literally hewn out between the columns. | 109 |
| Cherie Lunghi | I just want to say to women, 'Be yourself - it's the inner beauty that counts. You are your own best friend, the key to your own happiness, and as soon as you understand that - and it takes a few heartbreaks - you can be happy.' | 109 |
| David LaChapelle | I love fashion, beauty, glamour. It's the mark of civilisation. | 109 |
| Edward Witten | But the beauty of Einstein's equations, for example, is just as real to anyone who's experienced it as the beauty of music. We've learned in the 20th century that the equations that work have inner harmony. | 109 |
| Stone Gossard | I think it's evident that expensive neighborhoods in Seattle are surrounded by natural beauty. That elevates city life. So if we can make cities more attractive in the long run, we can be smarter about issues like development, zoning and economics. | 109 |
| Adrienne Bailon | I have an odd fetish with nails. I was always doing beauty blogs about nails, and it would be on Fridays called 'Friday's Fingertip Fetish.' It became so popular that a nail polish company approached me, and Fingertip Fetish was born. | 109 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | The fun part of being a girl is that there are little beauty things you can do to make yourself feel special. | 109 |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson | Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting. | 110 |

| William Blake | Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed. | 110 |
| Imelda Marcos | People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage? | 110 |
| Phyllis Diller | It's a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I'd be rotten to the core. | 110 |
| John Ruskin | Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty. | 110 |
| Andrea Bocelli | What is certain is that singing is not merely modulating a song by means of the voice: we sing and we celebrate the beauty that we can grow and live every day. If you want to sing and give emotions to those who are listening, you must have something to tell through your singing; you have to use singing like an instrument to tell something. | 110 |
| Ariana Grande | I like Aurora, 'Sleeping Beauty,' because she's just sleeping and looking pretty and waiting for boys to come kiss her. Sounds like a good life - lots of naps and cute boys fighting dragons to come kiss you. | 110 |
| Eugene Ionesco | Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well. | 110 |
| Evangeline Lilly | In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don't accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth. | 110 |
| George Herbert Mead | The beauty of a face is not a separate quality but a relation or proportion of qualities to each other. | 110 |
| Gloria Vanderbilt | If you've never had a mother or a father, you grow up seeking something you're never going to find, ever. You seek it in love and in people and in beauty. | 110 |
| Homaro Cantu | The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short. | 110 |
| Jada Pinkett Smith | I would say Will came at a time in my life where he saw beauty in me that I didn't see in myself at the time. And, you know, he saw a diamond in the rough and kind of, picked me up and blew off all the dust and said, 'I'm telling you, I'm going to make you shine, girl.' | 110 |
| Kelly Rowland | 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. | 110 |
| Martha Beck | Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look. | 110 |
| Rose Kennedy | I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit, beauty, intelligence, the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life. | 110 |
| Tabatha Coffey | Being in the beauty industry has taught me that most of us are never satisfied with how we look. We all wish we had better hair, could lose that last 10 pounds, or look like someone else. I always see the beauty in the clients that have sat in my chair, and I've tried to help them see it, too, and feel good about themselves. | 110 |
| Tara Brach | If our hearts are ready for anything, we are touched by the beauty and poetry and mystery that fill our world. | 110 |
| Virginia Postrel | Cosmetics makers have always sold 'hope in a jar' - creams and potions that promise youth, beauty, sex appeal, and even love for the women who use them. | 110 |
| Wale | 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. | 110 |
| Albrecht Durer | I hold that the perfection of form and beauty is contained in the sum of all men. | 110 |
| Alexis Carrel | The love of beauty in its multiple forms is the noblest gift of the human cerebrum. | 110 |
| Aimee Mullins | True beauty is when someone radiates that they like themselves. | 110 |
| Julie Burchill | Shame, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder. | 110 |
| Rachel Bilson | My quick beauty tip is always have a tinted gloss of some kind to give you some color even if you have no makeup on. | 110 |
| Giovanni Pico della Mirandola | 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. | 110 |
| Janelle Monae | I believe it's time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them. | 110 |
| Maya Angelou | It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. | 111 |
| William Blake | Exuberance is beauty. | 111 |
| Christopher McCandless | Tramping is too easy with all this money. My days were more exciting when I was penniless and had to forage around for my next meal... I've decided that I'm going to live this life for some time to come. The freedom and simple beauty of it is just too good to pass up. | 111 |
| Mary Wollstonecraft | Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. | 111 |
| Richard P. Feynman | 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? | 111 |
| Billie Joe Armstrong | A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It's below the radar. The beauty of it is that you're not supposed to always know. It's subterranean. | 111 |
| Christian Dior | Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest. | 111 |
| Christopher Marlowe | O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars. | 111 |
| Christopher Morley | Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting; she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief, the souvenir of pain. | 111 |
| Craig Ferguson | It's the beauty and curse of doing a daily show. Some days you've got nothing to talk about and other days Dick Cheney shoots his lawyer in the face and everyone is happy. | 111 |
| Hu Shih | What is sacred among one people may be ridiculous in another; and what is despised or rejected by one cultural group, may in a different environment become the cornerstone for a great edifice of strange grandeur and beauty. | 111 |
| Ishmael Beah | We all find joy and radiance and a reason to move on even in the most dire of circumstances. Even in chaos and madness, there's still a beauty that comes from just the vibrancy of another human spirit. | 111 |
| Jack London | I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me. I write a book for no other reason than to add three or four hundred acres to my magnificent estate. | 111 |
| L'Wren Scott | Enhancing a woman's silhouette and enhancing a woman's beauty - both contribute to enhancing her confidence, so they're synonymous, really. | 111 |
| Liam Neeson | For all of nature's wonder and beauty, it is also hostile and unpredictable. | 111 |
| Oriana Fallaci | Alas, nothing reveals man the way war does. Nothing so accentuates in him the beauty and ugliness, the intelligence and foolishness, the brutishness and humanity, the courage and cowardice, the enigma. | 111 |
| Philippe Petit | I am fascinated by the engineering. The science of constructing and understanding why it stands. And I am drawn by the madness, the beauty, the theatricality, the poetry and soul of the wire. And you cannot be a wire-walker without mingling those two ways of seeing life. | 111 |
| Pope Benedict XVI | How much we need, in the church and in society, witnesses of the beauty of holiness, witnesses of the splendour of truth, witnesses of the joy and freedom born of a living relationship with Christ! | 111 |
| Tina Turner | My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself. I don't use special creams or treatments - I'll use a little bit of everything. It's a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret. | 111 |
| Tyra Banks | As I look into the future, I see radical changes in both how people 'attain beauty,' and how the world perceives beauty. In general, I believe traditional beauty will be less valuable - and more uniqueness will be heralded. | 111 |
| Virginia Postrel | Like the rest of the genetic lottery, beauty is unfair. Everyone falls short of perfection, but some are luckier than others. Real confidence requires self-knowledge, which includes recognizing one's shortcomings as well as one's strengths. | 111 |
| Anne Bronte | 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. | 111 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | Textbook science is beautiful! Textbook science is comprehensible, unlike mere fascinating words that can never be truly beautiful. Elementary science textbooks describe simple theories, and simplicity is the core of scientific beauty. Fascinating words have no power, nor yet any meaning, without the math. | 111 |
| Erin O'Connor | How awful to be a perfect beauty! How confusing! God. Can you imagine? | 111 |
| John O'Donohue | Much of the stress and emptiness that haunt us can be traced back to our lack of attention to beauty. Internally, the mind becomes coarse and dull if it remains unvisited by images and thoughts that hold the radiance of beauty. | 111 |
| Jonathan Sacks | Part of the beauty of Judaism, and surely this is so for other faiths also, is that it gently restores control over time. Three times a day we stop what we are doing and turn to God in prayer. We recover perspective. We inhale a deep breath of eternity. | 111 |
| Minna Antrim | The very women who object to the morals of a notoriously beautiful actress, grow big with pride when an admirer suggests their marked resemblance to this stage beauty in physique. | 111 |
| Max Heindel | The sculptor who deals with form seeks to imprison beauty in a marble statue that will withstand the ravages of time during millenniums; but a marble statue is cold and speaks to but a few of the most evolved who are able to infuse the statue with their own life. | 111 |
| Radhanath Swami | Whereas religious prayers sing of peace and harmony, religion has divided human beings through an atrocious history of enmity and bloodshed. Yet, behind the veil of superficiality and hypocrisy, I always believed in the inherent beauty of God that lies at the essence of all true spiritual paths. | 111 |
| Jean Anouilh | Things are beautiful if you love them. | 111 |
| Franz Kafka | Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old. | 112 |
| Dante Alighieri | Beauty awakens the soul to act. | 112 |
| Homer | In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare! | 112 |
| Mattie Stepanek | People are fighting over how our heartsongs are different. But they don't need to be the same. That's the beauty. We are a mosaic of gifts. Each of us has our inner beauty no matter how we look. | 112 |
| Anne Lamott | Pay attention to the beauty surrounding you. | 112 |
| Bette Midler | A lot of people have no access to beauty. When I was growing up, my mother had only a few pretty things to look at. | 112 |
| Bobbi Brown | I never in a million years thought I would be the person to go to for self-esteem; that was not my intent. But I happen to love beauty, I love the way people look, and I love making women look beautiful. | 112 |
| Havelock Ellis | The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw. | 112 |
| Henry James | 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. | 112 |
| James Dean | I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed. | 112 |
| John Greenleaf Whittier | Beauty seen is never lost, God's colors all are fast. | 112 |
| JR | The beauty of an art project is that you cannot always measure the impact, but one day it can become clear. | 112 |
| Marcel Duchamp | In chess, there are some extremely beautiful things in the domain of movement, but not in the visual domain. It's the imagining of the movement or of the gesture that makes the beauty in this case. | 112 |
| Marlee Matlin | When I learned to sign and speak at the same time, the whole world opened up to me. That's the beauty of encouraging kids who are deaf to use whatever it takes to communicate. | 112 |
| Nadine Gordimer | Truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is. | 112 |
| Philip Johnson | 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. | 112 |
| Robert Mapplethorpe | Beauty and the devil are the same thing. | 112 |
| Rod Stewart | Fast cars like Porsches and Ferraris - they are things of beauty. | 112 |
| Tyra Banks | Global warming will threaten our crops, so natural food will be scarce. Hourglass, curvy bodies will be the aspirational beauty standard, representing that those women have access to bounties of fulfilling yet healthy food, which means they are affluent. | 112 |
| Andrew Weil | 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. | 112 |
| John O'Donohue | The beauty of the Catholic church is that it has a sacramental structure that can hold its own with the best out of any tradition. It has a mystical system and content that can hold its own with the best out of Tibet... its an amazing tradition, but I think you need to be critical. | 112 |
| Michael Franti | All the freaky people make the beauty of the world. | 112 |
| Scott Weiland | Music, as many people have said, is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things, but ultimately it makes you feel. And that's why people remember more songs that have meant something during their life than films. They start to define periods in your life, and that's kind of the beauty of it. | 112 |
| Teller | If you do something that you're proud of, that someone else understands, that is a thing of beauty that wasn't there before - you can't beat that. | 112 |
| Tony Kushner | Who knows better than artists how much ugliness there is on the way to beauty, how many ghastly, mortifying missteps, how many days of granitic blockheadedness and dismaying ineptitude there is on the way to accomplishment, how partial all accomplishment is, how incomplete? | 112 |
| Julie Burchill | What sort of sap doesn't know by now that picture-perfect beauty is all done with smoke and mirrors anyway? | 112 |

| Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest. | 113 |
| Amy Grant | There's a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It's impossible to be mature without having lived. | 113 |

| Ben Bernanke | Remember that physical beauty is evolution's way of assuring us that the other person doesn't have too many intestinal parasites. | 113 |
| Beth Ditto | Thanks to capitalism, the importance placed on beauty has never been so manipulated. We are the guinea pigs force-fed ads that tell us how pathetic we are: that we will never be loved, happy or valuable unless we have the body, the face, the hair, even the personality that will apparently be ours, if only we buy their products. | 113 |
| Dita Von Teese | My beauty icons are women whose images are self-created. | 113 |

| John Donne | No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face. | 113 |
| Paul Watson | 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. | 113 |

| Christo | And for me, the real world involves everything: risk, danger, beauty, energy, all we meet with in the real world. | 113 |
| Emile Zola | I am little concerned with beauty or perfection. I don't care for the great centuries. All I care about is life, struggle, intensity. | 113 |
| Helmut Jahn | You don't know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don't talk to you. There's very little interaction. | 113 |
| Hosea Ballou | It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so. | 113 |
| James Hillman | Depression opens the door to beauty of some kind. | 113 |
| William C. Bryant | A sculptor wields The chisel, and the stricken marble grows To beauty. | 113 |
| John Ortberg | Art is built on the deepest themes of human meaning: good and evil, beauty and ugliness, life and death, love and hate. No other story has incarnated those themes more than the story of Jesus. | 113 |
| Shay Mitchell | We all have to find beauty within us, as opposed to just our exterior. | 113 |
| Donald Trump | That's one of the nice things. I mean, part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich. So if I need $600 million, I can put $600 million myself. That's a huge advantage. I must tell you, that's a huge advantage over the other candidates. | 114 |
| Anne Frank | I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains. | 114 |
| Audrey Hepburn | The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair. | 114 |
| Fyodor Dostoevsky | Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man. | 114 |
| Rumi | Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it. | 114 |
| Imelda Marcos | I always say you can never be extravagant with beauty. Beauty is God made real. Beauty is life. | 114 |
| Phyllis Diller | Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age - as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight. | 114 |
| Jane Austen | To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive. | 114 |
| Langston Hughes | Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people - the beauty within themselves. | 114 |
| Clifford Geertz | The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different, and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about. | 114 |
| Gene Tierney | Wealth, beauty, and fame are transient. When those are gone, little is left except the need to be useful. | 114 |
| Hans Urs von Balthasar | Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance. | 114 |
| Katrina Kaif | For me, physical beauty is never the reason for attraction to anyone. | 114 |
| Kourtney Kardashian | Now that I have a daughter, I've been thinking about how I'll define beauty to her. I watched a video of Kendall when she was three, and she was putting on makeup. I don't know how I feel about that. But my daughter already watches me do it. When do you let them start wearing it? I don't know yet. | 114 |
| Marina and the Diamonds | Even when I see a beautiful woman, I think, 'Aw, her life must be amazing.' Everyone does it. That's human nature to believe that beauty is everything. | 114 |
| Miuccia Prada | I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty. | 114 |
| St. Jerome | Beauty when unadorned is adorned the most. | 114 |
| Tina Brown | The Brazilian poet Vinicius de Moraes wrote that beauty is fundamental. Well, with the poet's permission, so is courage. | 114 |
| Troy Polamalu | 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. | 114 |
| Craig Bruce | Nothing surpasses the beauty and elegance of a bad idea. | 114 |
| Sonam Kapoor | I think every single imperfection adds to your beauty. I'd rather be imperfect than perfect. | 114 |

| Malcolm de Chazal | The beautiful remains so in ugly surroundings. | 114 |
| Beyonce Knowles | We all have our imperfections. But I'm human, and you know, it's important to concentrate on other qualities besides outer beauty. | 115 |
| David Hume | Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them. | 115 |
| Galileo Galilei | Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty. | 115 |
| Amelia Earhart | I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty. | 115 |
| Langston Hughes | Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying. | 115 |
| Michelangelo | 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. | 115 |
| William Wordsworth | 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. | 115 |
| Ani DiFranco | Sometimes the beauty is easy. Sometimes you don't have to try at all. Sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake. Sometimes there's poetry written right on the bathroom wall. | 115 |
| Bill Bryson | If you drive to, say, Shenandoah National Park, or the Great Smoky Mountains, you'll get some appreciation for the scale and beauty of the outdoors. When you walk into it, then you see it in a completely different way. You discover it in a much slower, more majestic sort of way. | 115 |
| Charles Baudelaire | Whether you come from heaven or hell, what does it matter, O Beauty! | 115 |
| Christian Nestell Bovee | There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable. | 115 |
| E. M. Forster | 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. | 115 |
| Frank Miller | Comics are so full of amazing work. And I can't look at a drawing of a woman without thinking of, for instance, Wallace Wood and his amazing way of capturing beauty. | 115 |
| Jennifer Lopez | Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit. | 115 |
| Kirsten Dunst | I'd like to grow up and be beautiful. I know it doesn't matter, but it doesn't hurt. | 115 |
| Lily Collins | Never once does 'Snow White' herself look in the mirror so she isn't aware of her beauty or what apparently that does to people. It's really just the queen and the prince that talk about it. | 115 |
| Peter York | If beauty isn't genius it usually signals at least a high level of animal cunning. | 115 |
| Sallust | The fame that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile; intellectual superiority is a possession glorious and eternal. | 115 |
| Thomas Babington Macaulay | The English Bible - a book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power. | 115 |
| Tim Vine | Black beauty - he's a dark horse. | 115 |
| Julie Burchill | The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens, 20s and 30s and then lose it; most of us have it not at all. And that's perfectly okay. But lying to yourself that you have it when you don't seems to me simple-minded at best and psychotic at worst. | 115 |
| Sara Teasdale | Oh who can tell the range of joy or set the bounds of beauty? | 115 |
| Charlie Chaplin | I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose. | 116 |
| Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel | I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation. | 116 |
| Cate Blanchett | My everyday beauty routine is always rushed and pretty simple. | 116 |
| Diane von Furstenberg | There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering! | 116 |
| Jennifer Aniston | You know when I feel inwardly beautiful? When I am with my girlfriends and we are having a 'goddess circle'. | 116 |
| Loretta Young | There is no personal achievement in being born beautiful. | 116 |
| Myles Munroe | Whenever I talk about the Bahamas and its beauty, I could never stop talking about my God, who has given us all of this beauty. | 116 |
| Pitbull | One night I'll be in Los Angeles and it'll be a Latin crowd, and then another night I'll go to Fresno and it'll be an all-black crowd. To me, that's the beauty of the music. | 116 |
| Sophia Loren | Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical. | 116 |
| Christine Pelosi | The beauty of our democracy lies in the American value of equality: if you vote, you have a seat at the table. If you speak, you have a chance to persuade others. A billionaire and a minimum wage earner have the same power at the ballot box. | 116 |
| Juliette Binoche | When you really put your heart in the work, you don't think of how you look. And I think that's the beauty of it. | 116 |
| Edgar Allan Poe | Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears. | 117 |
| Adlai E. Stevenson | A beauty is a woman you notice; a charmer is one who notices you. | 117 |
| Charles Baudelaire | I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy. | 117 |
| Conan O'Brien | The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality. | 117 |
| Diane Kruger | Her beauty didn't do her any good and she couldn't use it in any positive way or manipulative way. I just hope that people will look and see and believe in that hope of love, that hope of freedom, even if it was just for a limited time. | 117 |
| Jada Pinkett Smith | Art should never be limited - the beauty of art is that it gives us the freedom to go places where we wouldn't go to in our normal lives. Inside, I'm just so many different people. I go from the pretty girl on the red carpet to the singer at Ozzfest, spitting in the crowd. That's Jada. | 117 |
| Katrina Kaif | You have to understand, beauty differs from country to country. When I came to India, I found my sense of belonging and appreciation. People thought I was beautiful. | 117 |
| Naomi Wolf | Most urgently, women's identity must be premised upon our 'beauty' so that we will remain vulnerable to outside approval, carrying the vital sensitive organ of self-esteem exposed to the air. | 117 |
| Washington Irving | 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. | 117 |
| William Congreve | There is in true beauty, as in courage, something which narrow souls cannot dare to admire. | 117 |
| Barbara Corcoran | A whopping 89 percent of buyers start their home search online. How your house looks online is the modern equivalent of 'curb appeal.' Rent a wide-angle lens and good lighting, get rid of your clutter and post at least eight great photos to win the beauty contest. | 117 |
| Lucy Larcom | 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. | 117 |
| Mandy Moore | People who grew up watching Disney films like myself, there are films that are certain benchmarks in my childhood. 'The Little Mermaid' was the first movie I remember seeing. 'Beauty And The Beast,' 'Aladdin,' those are three I remember right off the bat. | 117 |
| Imelda Marcos | Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty. | 118 |
| Ivanka Trump | For my first fragrance, I wanted to capture the essence of a woman's strength and beauty. | 118 |
| Caroline Knapp | When you study a dog you love, you find beauty in every small detail, and so it is with Lucille: I have become enchanted by the small asymmetrical whorls of white fur on either side of her chest, and by her tail, which she carries in a high confident curve, and by her eyes, which are watchful and intelligent, the color of chestnuts. | 118 |
| Claude Debussy | Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part. | 118 |
| Dita Von Teese | I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair. | 118 |
| Erin Heatherton | My favourite beauty look is definitely '70s beauty - sun kissed skin, wavy hair and defined eyes. | 118 |
| Eva Green | I'm very low-maintenance when it comes to my beauty routine. | 118 |
| Theophilus London | I admire natural, untouched beauty. | 118 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | The purpose of a moral philosophy is not to look delightfully strange and counterintuitive or to provide employment to bioethicists. The purpose is to guide our choices toward life, health, beauty, happiness, fun, laughter, challenge, and learning. | 118 |
| James Weldon Johnson | I thought of Paris as a beauty spot on the face of the earth, and of London as a big freckle. | 118 |
| Mandy Moore | 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. | 118 |
| Marc Jacobs | To me, beauty and makeup and color is like the finishing touch on everything. | 118 |
| Aimee Mullins | The best beauty secret, besides sleep and plenty of water, is do whatever it is - before you go out, before you need to feel beautiful - do whatever makes you feel confident. If it's putting on a great dance record and rocking out in your apartment, do it. If kissing someone for 10 minutes makes you feel confident, do it. | 118 |
| Jean Kerr | I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being skin deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas? | 118 |
| Emily Dickinson | Beauty is not caused. It is. | 119 |
| Chanakya | The world's biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman. | 119 |
| Georgia O'Keeffe | I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty. | 119 |
| Stephen King | 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. | 119 |
| Elisabeth Kubler-Ross | Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. | 119 |
| J. Paul Getty | The beauty one can find in art is one of the pitifully few real and lasting products of human endeavor. | 119 |
| Joseph Joubert | Grace is in garments, in movements, in manners; beauty in the nude, and in forms. This is true of bodies; but when we speak of feelings, beauty is in their spirituality, and grace in their moderation. | 119 |
| Katrina Kaif | 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. | 119 |
| Margaret Cho | I didn't appreciate the young woman that I was, or my young beauty, because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It's never good to add to anybody else's suffering. It's an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of - dealing with dignity. | 119 |
| Martha Beck | Something in the human psyche confuses beauty with the right to be loved. The briefest glance at human folly reveals that good looks and worthiness operate independently. Yet countless socializing forces, from Aunt Clara to the latest perfume ad, reinforce beliefs like 'If I were pretty enough, I would be loved.' | 119 |
| Paloma Faith | I think everybody should focus on inner beauty. | 119 |
| Wallace Stevens | I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections, Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling, Or just after. | 119 |
| Jessie J | I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably do make-up and beauty and hair and something creative like styling; I really enjoy it. | 119 |
| Mandy Moore | When girls feel bad about their looks, 60 percent avoid normal daily activities like raising their hand in class or even going to the doctor. That means that girls do not show up for life when they don't feel good enough or pretty enough. A role model can help girls see beauty as a source of confidence, not anxiety. | 119 |
| Khalil Gibran | Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. | 120 |
| Voltaire | It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it. | 120 |
| Aldous Huxley | Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder. | 120 |
| Christian Louboutin | People say I am the king of painful shoes. I don't want to create painful shoes, but it is not my job to create something comfortable. I try to make high heels as comfortable as they can be, but my priority is design, beauty and sexiness. I'm not against them, but comfort is not my focus. | 120 |
| Elizabeth Barrett Browning | The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness. | 120 |
| Robert Gottlieb | The heart of the classical repertory is the Tchaikovsky-Petipa 'Sleeping Beauty,' and no ballet is harder to get right. | 120 |
| Sylvia Earle | Why is it that scuba divers and surfers are some of the strongest advocates of ocean conservation? Because they've spent time in and around the ocean, and they've personally seen the beauty, the fragility, and even the degradation of our planet's blue heart. | 120 |
| Walter Scott | Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest. | 120 |
| Frank Sinatra | I am a thing of beauty. | 121 |
| John Keats | With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration. | 121 |
| Billie Joe Armstrong | There are always young bands playing in their garages. A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It's below the radar. The beauty of it is that you're not supposed to always know. It's subterranean. | 121 |
| Chris Hadfield | The beauty of the space station, and of human spaceflight, is that it is now at a level of maturity where you can invite people on-board, which is what I worked so hard to do on social media and all the videos I made. | 121 |
| Hedy Lamarr | My mother always called me an ugly weed, so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles. | 121 |
| Nina Dobrev | I was kind of a jock in school. Beauty wasn't something I spent a lot of time on. | 121 |
| Stacy London | Smart beauty is about looking your best and feeling your best and never overpaying for it. | 121 |
| Thomas Mann | For I must tell you that we artists cannot tread the path of Beauty without Eros keeping company with us and appointing himself as our guide. | 121 |
| William Penn | In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self. | 121 |
| Dita Von Teese | I really believe that beauty comes from health - sensible eating and exercise. | 122 |
| Erin Heatherton | Inner beauty radiates from within, and there's nothing more beautiful than when a woman feels beautiful on the inside. | 122 |
| Whitney Houston | I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. | 122 |
| Miranda Kerr | Everyone has a different beauty and different qualities and I think that women need to learn to love their qualities and be comfortable in the fact that everyone is different. | 122 |
| Rabindranath Tagore | By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower. | 123 |
| Virginia Woolf | The beautiful seems right by force of beauty, and the feeble wrong because of weakness. | 123 |
| Andre Gide | 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. | 123 |
| Dante Alighieri | Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from The Eternal. | 123 |
| Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | In particular I want to talk about natural black hair, and how it's not just hair. I mean, I'm interested in hair in sort of a very aesthetic way, just the beauty of hair, but also in a political way: what it says, what it means. | 123 |
| Virginia Postrel | Although people often equate them, glamour is not the same as beauty, stylishness, luxury, celebrity, or sex appeal. It is not limited to fashion or film; nor is it intrinsically feminine. It is not a collection of aesthetic markers - a style, as fashion and design use the word. | 123 |
| Emily Procter | It's amazing what sleep does for your looks. | 123 |
| Albert Camus | Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time. | 124 |
| Beyonce Knowles | If I weren't performing, I'd be a beauty editor or a therapist. I love creativity, but I also love to help others. My mother was a hairstylist, and they listen to everyone's problems - like a beauty therapist! | 124 |
| Bob Dylan | I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be. | 124 |
| David Hume | Beauty, whether moral or natural, is felt, more properly than perceived. | 124 |
| Groucho Marx | She got her looks from her father. He's a plastic surgeon. | 124 |
| John Muir | When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty. | 124 |
| Steven Spielberg | I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming 'War Horse' on Dartmoor. | 124 |
| Camille Paglia | Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature. | 124 |
| Harriet Beecher Stowe | So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women. | 124 |
| Kelly Rowland | It took a long while for me to know that I'm beautiful. I remember going through this phase when I was younger of wanting to pass by mirrors and not look at them. That was so ridiculous. I've learned now that beauty starts from within. | 124 |
| Park Chan-wook | There's a humble beauty about listening to period instruments that I like. | 124 |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson | Beauty without expression is boring. | 125 |
| Pablo Picasso | Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs. | 125 |
| Toni Morrison | At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough. | 125 |
| Charles Baudelaire | An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion. | 125 |
| Dita Von Teese | Physical beauty isn't so impressive to me. | 125 |
| John Henrik Clarke | We have been educated into believing someone else's concept of the deity, and someone else's standard of beauty. You have the right to practice any religion and politics in a way that best suits your freedom, your dignity, and your understanding. And once you do that, you don't apologize. | 125 |
| Marjane Satrapi | If today I have to make a political statement, it is, 'I love beauty.' I think beauty makes people better. | 125 |
| Queen Latifah | Beauty is not just a white girl. It's so many different flavors and shades. | 125 |
| Tyra Banks | Because beauty will be so readily accessible, and skin color and features will be similar, prejudices based on physical features will be nearly eradicated. Prejudice will be socioeconomically based. | 125 |
| Hunter S. Thompson | For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled. | 126 |
| Hannah Arendt | By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else. From beauty no road leads to reality. | 126 |
| Alexander McQueen | I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists. | 126 |
| Anne Lamott | 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. | 126 |
| Douglas Rushkoff | Like the diminishing beauty returns for a facially paralyzed Botox addict, the more forcefully we attempt to stop the passage of time, the less available we are to the very moment we seek to preserve. | 126 |
| Marilyn Monroe | 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. | 201 |
| Saint Teresa of Avila | Nothing can be compared to the great beauty and capabilities of a soul; however keen our intellects may be, they are as unable to comprehend them as to comprehend God, for, as He has told us, He created us in His own image and likeness. | 201 |
| Percy Bysshe Shelley | Obscenity, which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life, is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food, which it devours in secret. | 201 |
| Lauren Bacall | 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. | 201 |
