No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.
Oscar Wilde
Beauty without intelligence is an illusion that is close to disenchantment. It is like a fairy that fascinates us, as long as we look at her through the enchanting prism of her beauty. However, it disappears as soon as the light of reason penetrates beyond the place where the eyes can see.
Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera, C
Even beauty may present a prism wearying to the eye.
Karl Joseph, Prince de Ligne
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.
Kahlil Gibran
This curious world we inhabit is more wonderful than convenient; more beautiful than it is useful; it is more to be admired and enjoyed than used.
Henry David Thoreau
Beauty is the gift of God.
Aristotle
When we see someone or something as imperfect, it is a reflection of our limitations, not theirs.
Steve Maraboli
Art is beauty, the perpetual invention of detail, the choice of words, the exquisite care of execution.
Theophile Gautier
Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty.
Imelda Marcos
It never seems to occur to some people, that, like beauty, a sense of humor may sometimes be fatal.
Edgar Rice Burroghs
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.
Amanda Peet
Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
Henry Rollins
Always think of what is useful and not what is beautiful. Beauty will come of its own accord.
Nikolai Gogol
Fashion fosters cliches of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.
Miuccia Prada
All the freaky people make the beauty of the world.
Michael Franti
Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
Plotinus
Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not fine yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labor to make all one glow or beauty and never cease chiseling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendor of virtue, until you see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine
Time takes the ugliness and horror out of death and turns it into beauty.
Dodie Smith
Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I'm in my fifties and sixties and this isn't what I'm going to look like.
Rose Byrne
It's hard to say what drives a three year-old, but I think I had a sense that nature was my solace, and nature was a place in which there was beauty, in which there was order.
Story Musgrave
