Quote DB :: Beauty Search in this category Sponsored Links Quote Author Rating Rate "Calm, lasting beauty comes only in a dream, and this solace the world had thrown away when in its worship of the real it threw away the secrets of childhood and innocence." H.P. Lovecraft "Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you, and be happy." Anne Frank "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." Confucius "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 "It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from." C.S. Lewis "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 "There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness." Marguerite Gardiner Blessington "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." Helen Keller "Beauty is not caused. It is." Emily Dickinson "Beauty is a short-lived tyranny." Socrates "In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves." Edward Bulwer-Lytton "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." Ambrose Bierce "Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty -- excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable -- should persist after the beauty was gone." Aristotle "Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference." Aristotle "No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?" Annie Dillard "In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty." Christopher Morley "If Jack's in love, he's no judge of Jill's beauty." Benjamin Franklin "Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all." C.S. Lewis "Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked." Saint Augustine "Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies." John Donne 1 2 Next >> Browse Beauty quotes by Author: Abraham Lincoln Ambrose Bierce Andy Warhol Anne Frank Annie Dillard Aristotle Benjamin Franklin Buckminster Fuller Carolyn Gifford Christopher Morley Confucius C.S.
