"As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"Beauty and folly are old companions."
Benjamin Franklin
"Beauty is a short-lived tyranny."
Socrates
"Beauty is a sign of intelligence."
Andy Warhol
"Beauty is all very well at first sight; but whoever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?"
George Bernard Shaw
"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
"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
"Beauty is not caused. It is."
Emily Dickinson
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty. That is all ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know."
John Keats
"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
"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
"Certain things, if not seen as lovely or detestable, are not being correctly seen at all."
C.S. Lewis
"Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them."
Abraham Lincoln
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
Confucius
"I have always been offended by the song that says, 'Everything is beautiful in its own way.' If everything is beautiful, then the word 'beautiful' has no meaning. If everything were purple, there would be no word 'purple' in the language because it would not distinguish one thing from another."
Thomas Sowell
"If Jack's in love, he's no judge of Jill's beauty."
Benjamin Franklin
"In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty."
Christopher Morley
"In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves."
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
"In the Orthodox spiritual tradition, the ultimate moral question we ask is the following: Is what we are doing, is what I am doing, beautiful or not?"
