Hans Urs von Balthasar
As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.

Voltaire
Do you know the difference between a beautiful woman and a charming one? A beauty is a woman you notice, a charmer is one who notices you.

Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.

Charles Baudelaire
I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.

There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
Francis Bacon
Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.

Tobey Maguire
Grace in women has more effect than beauty.
William Hazlitt
In LA, where I live, it's all about perfectionism. Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.

W. Somerset Maugham
At fifteen, beauty and talent do not exist; there can only be promise of the coming woman.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Beauty in distress is much the most affecting beauty.
Edmund Burke
If you don't die of thirst, there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness, which we all yearn for, or you can do the beauty of minutiae, the scrimshaw of tiny and precise. The sky is your ocean, and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music, or Neil Young.
Anne Lamott
When I say that human beings are just gene machines, one shouldn't put too much emphasis on the word 'just.' There is a very great deal of complication, and indeed beauty in being a gene machine.

Tyra Banks
The beauty of independence, departure, actions that rely on themselves.
Walt Whitman
Nonsense and beauty have close connections.
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.
E. M. Forster
The 1990s, after the reign of terror of academic vandalism, will be a decade of restoration: restoration of meaning, value, beauty, pleasure, and emotion to art and restoration of art to its audience.
Camille Paglia
I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passe abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.
Camille Paglia
Younger women have no problem in reconciling beauty with ambitions as a professional woman.
Camille Paglia
My beauty secret is absolutely no sun.

Joseph Addison
Only when inspired to go beyond consciousness by some extraordinary insight does beauty manifest unexpectedly.
Arthur Erickson
Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?
Dennis Prager

Helen Rowland
It's such a diversion to be constantly thinking of better ways I can teach people math that my hunger is for that really, for new ways of translating the beauty of it.
Danica McKellar
There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable.
Christian Nestell Bovee
Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.
Annie Lennox
When I look at the majority of my own songs they really came from my own sense of personal confusion or need to express some pain or beauty - they were coming from a universal and personal place.
Annie Lennox
Romance and novel paint beauty in colors more charming than nature, and describe a happiness that humans never taste. How deceptive and destructive are those pictures of consummate bliss!
Oliver Goldsmith
Beauty is a relation, and the apprehension of it a comparison.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.
Robert Plant

Martha Beck
I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it's just a big play.
Eric Bana
Wealth, beauty, and fame are transient. When those are gone, little is left except the need to be useful.
Gene Tierney
I wasn't afraid of getting old, because I was never a great beauty.
Shirley MacLaine
I mean, no one asks beauty secrets of me, or 'What size do you wear?' or 'Who's your couturier?' They ask me about really deep things and I love that.
Shirley MacLaine
Pay attention to the beauty surrounding you.
Anne Lamott
I think permitting the game to become too physical takes away a little bit of the beauty.
John Wooden
The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive - you are leaking.
Charles Lamb
Swift speedy time, feathered with flying hours, Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.
Lord Chesterfield
There is no racial or ethnic involvement in Thanksgiving, and people who may be very distant from the Christian system can see the beauty and the positive spirit that comes from the holiday.
John Clayton
Everybody know, I don't do no promoting. I don't ever have to promote nothing, that's the beauty of Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne
A bad manner spoils everything, even reason and justice; a good one supplies everything, gilds a No, sweetens a truth, and adds a touch of beauty to old age itself.
Baltasar Gracian
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.
Ani DiFranco
As Ralph's character begins to discover the political thriller aspect of the film, he falls deeper in love with his wife, so the two run together. That's the beauty of this film. It has fast pace and excitement, but it also has heart and soul.
Rachel Weisz
Thankfully, beauty is easier to remove than apply, and a swipe of demaquillage in the right direction and you are you once again.
Margaret Cho
Just because you are blind and unable to see my beauty doesn't mean it does not exist.
Margaret Cho
Beauty makes idiots sad and wise men merry.
George Jean Nathan
People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
Salma Hayek
My everyday beauty routine is always rushed and pretty simple.
Cate Blanchett
Well, I've never looked upon myself as being a beauty, per se.
Cate Blanchett
Beauty is not just physical.
Halle Berry
All the freaky people make the beauty of the world.
Michael Franti
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.
Donald Trump

Martha Beck
The key to education is the experience of beauty.
Friedrich Schiller
Hollywood needs to recognise all shades of African American beauty.

William Wordsworth
I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.
Georgia O'Keeffe
After a decade this glum, we deserved a shot of 'Glee,' a show that restored our faith in the power of song, the beauty of dance, and the magic of 'spirit fingers' to chase our cares and woes into somebody else's backyard.
James Wolcott
I am a thing of beauty.
Frank Sinatra

Jennifer Lopez
I really like to be able to have variety and to try different things - that's the beauty of fashion.

Zoe Saldana
Beauty is a radiance that originates from within and comes from inner security and strong character.
Jane Seymour
I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don't expect it.
Jean Paul Gaultier
I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists.
Alexander McQueen
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.
Craig Ferguson
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?
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.
Jennifer Garner
Somehow a bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.

Jeb Bush
I'm just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family, and my children brought me back some of that spirit.
Angelina Jolie
It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.
David Attenborough
The past itself, as historical change continues to accelerate, has become the most surreal of subjects - making it possible... to see a new beauty in what is vanishing.
Susan Sontag
I like the beauty of Faulkner's poetry. But I don't like his themes, not at all.

Beauty attracts us men; but if, like an armed magnet it is pointed, beside, with gold and silver, it attracts with tenfold power.
Jean Paul
I really like where Tony Robbins says that we're all hypnotized to see beauty this one specific way, and it's true.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Beauty fades! I just turned 29, so I probably don't have that many good years left in me.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Beauty, to me is about being comfortable in your own skin.
Gwyneth Paltrow
I think we have become obsessed with beauty and personally I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.
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.
Halle Berry
The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.
Havelock Ellis
My wife has brought great beauty into my life. And my daughter has brought me nothing but joy. Those qualities were greatly lacking.
Christopher Meloni
I really admire a woman for her intelligence, her personality. Beauty is not enough.
Roberto Cavalli
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.
Vladimir Kramnik
Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
John Keats
There is little premium in poetry in a world that thinks of Pound and Whitman as a weight and a sampler, not an Ezra, a Walt, a thing of beauty, a joy forever.
Anna Quindlen
Bologna is the best city in Italy for food and has the least number of tourists. With its medieval beauty, it has it all.
Mario Batali
I want, of course, peace, grace, and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it.
Studs Terkel
During the 80s and 90s, we all became consumed with ourselves. In the 21st century, we've come back to simpler times. People are struggling economically and this has forced them to scale back the material aspects of their lives and realise the beauty of finding the simple joy in being with the people we love.
Julia Roberts
Physical beauty is such a strange thing.
Jock Sturges
I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.
Robert Browning
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.
Thomas Mann
Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.
Thomas Mann
The beauty about the D-list is that people who are on it probably don't know they are.
Kathy Griffin
I think we should all be tolerant of each other and embrace each others' strengths and differences and uniqueness and beauty.
Martina McBride
I have girls who are concerned about how they look compared to models or what have you. It's my responsibility to teach them that beauty is more than superficial.
Martina McBride
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.
Clifford Geertz
I've never had any illusions about being a lead actor in films, because lead actors have to be of a certain kind. Apart from the beauty of looks and figure, which I cannot claim to have, there's just a particular kind of ordinary-Joe quality that a film star needs to have.
Stephen Fry
The trick of this thing and the beauty of this thing is that it's a cowboy movie first and then stuff happens. Even after stuff happens it doesn't change - it hasn't suddenly changed into another kind of movie. It's still a cowboy movie. And that's what's incredible about it because nobody has done that before, that's new territory.
Harrison Ford
I tried for a while to be an agricultural worker and was hopelessly bored. To me it was meaningless. I would stand around in heaps of manure and sings about the beauty of the work I wasn't doing.
Theodore Bikel
I tried for a while to be an agricultural worker and was hopelessly bored. I would stand around in heaps of manure and sing about the beauty of the work I wasn't doing.
Theodore Bikel
So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.
Dave Grohl
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.
Joseph Joubert
By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else. From beauty no road leads to reality.
Hannah Arendt
Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?
Richard P. Feynman
Lila can't be a model until she's at least 21. She is already a mini-me - it is scary. She already has her own beauty kit.
Kate Moss
And I think of that again as I've written in several of my beauty books, a lot of health comes from the proper eating habits, which are something that - you know, I come from a generation that wasn't - didn't have a lot of food.
Joan Collins
Well I've written four beauty books as well.
Joan Collins
Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.
Jean Rostand

Wallace Stevens
Beauty and fullness of tone can be achieved by having the whole orchestra play with high clarinets and a carefully selected number of piccolos.
Gustav Mahler
I thought it might be a good move to get into a beauty contest so I tried for Miss Pennsylvania and won. I think that helped me get noticed, at least by the people of Pennsylvania.
Sharon Stone
With guys I revere, like Marcus Garvey or Malcolm X, their look is less about style than purpose and the expression of beauty. It wasn't just about being noticed, you know?
Mos Def
Depression opens the door to beauty of some kind.
James Hillman
Aging has a wonderful beauty and we should have respect for that.
Eartha Kitt

Christopher Morley
Beauty, whether moral or natural, is felt, more properly than perceived.
David Hume
Accuracy is, in every case, advantageous to beauty, and just reasoning to delicate sentiment. In vain would we exalt the one by depreciating the other.
David Hume
Beauty and the devil are the same thing.
Robert Mapplethorpe
Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty.
Imelda Marcos
Natural beauty takes at least two hours in front of a mirror.
Pamela Anderson
I was never an ambitious girl, or even a self-confident one. I never went in for beauty pageants or wore a stitch of make-up until I went to Los Angeles.
Pamela Anderson
You fall into my arms. You are the good gift of destruction's path, When life sickens more than disease. And boldness is the root of beauty. Which draws us together.
Boris Pasternak
I have been overcome by the beauty and richness of our life together, those early mornings setting out, those evenings gleaming with rivers and lakes below us, still holding the last light.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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.
Billie Joe Armstrong
I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element.
Eric Davis
Los Angeles is like a beauty parlor at the end of the universe.
Emily Mortimer
I know it sounds a bit corny, but I do think that beauty and sexiness come from within.

Jean Paul
Order is the shape upon which beauty depends.
Pearl S. Buck
I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty.
Miuccia Prada
Now, I'm not saying I'm fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.
Miuccia Prada
Fashion fosters cliches of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.
Miuccia Prada
Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress.

Craig Bruce
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.
George Henry Lewes
Jordan has a strange, haunting beauty and a sense of timelessness. Dotted with the ruins of empires once great, it is the last resort of yesterday in the world of tomorrow. I love every inch of it.
King Hussein I
I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.
Baruch Spinoza
I really wanted there to be something in my life that I enjoy just for the beauty of it.
Robert Caro
The New York City Ballet is obviously speaking to a whole new generation and bringing it the same wonder and beauty that it brought previous generations.
Robert Caro
For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.
Vladimir Kramnik
Through loyalty to the past, our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow's joy is possible only if today's makes way for it; that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one.
Andre Gide
Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon.
Andre Gide
What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth.
John Keats
With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.
John Keats
I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within.
Plautus
Beauty is first and foremost an emotion.

There's a beauty in being part of a band, when there's equality and trust.
Scott Weiland
What saddens me is the corruption of youth and beauty, and the loss of soul, which is only replaced by money.
Lisa Bonet
Every man who has shown the world the way to beauty, to true culture, has been a rebel, a 'universal' without patriotism, without home, who has found his people everywhere.
Chaim Potok
San Francisco is a mad city - inhabited for the most part by perfectly insane people whose women are of a remarkable beauty.
Rudyard Kipling
Because, if one is writing novels today, concentrating on the beauty of the prose is right up there with concentrating on your semi-colons, for wasted effort.
Neil Gaiman
My mother never put an emphasis on looks. She let us grow up on our own time line. She never forced any beauty regimen into my world.
Rachel McAdams
That's the beauty of being a comedian - it's the one job you're allowed to do that. We're lucky. We're really lucky.
Colin Quinn
The beauty of having a producer is that you have someone who says, You're finished.
Sheryl Crow
I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired.
Janis Ian
Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.
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.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I have a real passion for many aspects of home lifestyle and beauty.
Rachel Roy

Vivien Leigh
As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.

Don DeLillo
There is a role and function for beauty in our time.
Tadao Ando
I used to wear a lot of red lipstick, and when I got a pimple, I'd cover it up with eyeliner to turn it into a beauty mark.
Selma Blair
I'm flatchested, I'm short, I'm brunette, I have droopy eyes, and so people have a hard time casting me as a 'beauty.'
Selma Blair
I'm only wanted by directors for the image I give off, and it makes me angry. I always wanted to be an actor and not a beauty pageant winner.
Jude Law
After all, it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without; and I have been more fascinated by a woman of talent and intelligence, though deficient in personal charms, than I have been by the most regular beauty.
Washington Irving
I think exercise tests us in so many ways, our skills, our hearts, our ability to bounce back after setbacks. This is the inner beauty of sports and competition, and it can serve us all well as adult athletes.
Peggy Fleming
In art economy is always beauty.
Henry James
I am a great lover of art, in many forms: paintings, objets, textiles. I don't have the talent for painting, but I have a very good sense of colour, a love of visual beauty.
Jacqueline Bisset
Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it.
Van Morrison
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.
Pitbull
Beauty when unadorned is adorned the most.
St. Jerome
I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn't. And that's a tough place to be because you're never satisfied.
Robert Mapplethorpe
The only rich person is a person who is rich in spirit. I have no money deposit. I have only beauty deposit.
Imelda Marcos
There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty.
Celine Dion
I think there's a great beauty to having problems. That's one of the ways we learn.
Herbie Hancock
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.
Lascelles Abercrombie
Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don't recognize our own beauty because we're too busy comparing ourselves to other people.
Kelly Osbourne
I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being skin deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?
Jean Kerr
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.
Marguerite Young
Beauty is the lover's gift.
William Congreve
There is in true beauty, as in courage, something which narrow souls cannot dare to admire.
William Congreve
The fame that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile; intellectual superiority is a possession glorious and eternal.

The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting.
Marc Jacobs
Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness, I was never going to be forgiven.
Kevyn Aucoin
Many a genius has been slow of growth. Oaks that flourish for a thousand years do not spring up into beauty like a reed.
George Henry Lewes
The more people explore the world, the more they realize in every country there's a different aesthetic. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
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.

You get more churches burned down in the United States in the last two years than in the last hundred, because of the lack of understanding of culture and diversity and the beauty of it.

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.
Christopher Morley
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.
Charles Baudelaire
I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.
Charles Baudelaire
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.
Barbara Corcoran
I don't want to be perfect, but I do want to be a role model. My mom always tells me that imperfections equal beauty. All of us are imperfect.
Miley Cyrus
It's not beauty but fine qualities, my girl, that keep a husband.
Euripides
The beauty, the poetry of the fear in their eyes. I didn't mind going to jail for, what, five, six hours? It was absolutely worth it.
Johnny Depp
Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.
John Ruskin
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.

If in my youth I had realized that the sustaining splendour of beauty of with which I was in love would one day flood back into my heart, there to ignite a flame that would torture me without end, how gladly would I have put out the light in my eyes.
Michelangelo
Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age - as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.

John Dryden
Great perils have this beauty, that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers.
Victor Hugo
What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain.
