Beauty Related Quotes
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.
Albert Camus
The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavour -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.
Albert Einstein
The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious - the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious - the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.
Albert Einstein
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Albert Einstein
The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.
Anais Nin
Joy is the best makeup.
Anne Lamott
When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
Buckminster Fuller
People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart.
Candace Bergen
When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.
Chinese proverb
It matters more what's in a woman's face than what's on it.
Claudette Colbert
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.
D. H. Lawrence
For lack of attention a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every day.
Evelyn Underhill
To those who followed Columbus and Cortez, the New World truly seemed incredible because of the natural endowments. The land often announced itself with a heavy scent miles out into the ocean. Giovanni di Verrazano in 1524 smelled the cedars of the East Coast a hundred leagues out. The men of Henry Hudson's Half Moon were temporarily disarmed by the fragrance of the New Jersey shore, while ships running farther up the coast occasionally swam through large beds of floating flowers. Wherever they came inland they found a rich riot of color and sound, of game and luxuriant vegetation. Had they been other than they were, they might have written a new mythology here. As it was, they took inventory.
Frederick Turner
I said to myself -- I'll paint what I see -- what the flower is to me but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it -- I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.
Georgia O'Keeffe
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart.
Helen Keller
The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
Henry Miller
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
John Keats
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for example.
John Ruskin
Good nature will always supply the absence of beauty; but beauty cannot supply the absence of good nature.
Joseph Addison
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
Kahlil Gibran
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn !
Look to this Day !
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn !
Kalidasa
I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy !
Louise Bogan
Do you love me because I'm beautiful,
or am I am beautiful because you love me ?
Oscar Hammerstein, II
It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.
Rachel Carson
Truth, and goodness, and beauty are but different faces of the same all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is a weed ? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Spirituality exists wherever we struggle with the issue of how our lives fit into the greater cosmic scheme of things. This is true even when our questions never give way to specific answers or give rise to specific practices such as prayer or meditation. We encounter spiritual issues every time we wonder where the universe comes from, why we are here, or what happens when we die. We also become spiritual when we become moved by values such as beauty, love, or creativity that seem to reveal a meaning or power beyond our visible world. An idea or practice is "spiritual" when it reveals our personal desire to establish a felt-relationship with the deepest meanings or powers governing life.
Robert C. Fuller
Nothing is more the child of art than a garden.
Sir Walter Scott
Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got.
Sophia Loren
Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead.
When Death claims the light of my brow,
No flowers of life will cheer me instead
You may give me my roses now !
Thomas F. Healey
The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
Virginia Woolf
