"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, 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 us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."	Albert Einstein
"A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot."	Alan Marshall Beck
"A man's true wealth is the good he does in the world. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror."	Kahlil Gibran
"A thing is right if it tends to preserve the stability, integrity, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong if it tends otherwise."	Aldo Leopold
"Adversity draws men together and produces beauty and harmony in life's relationships, just as the cold of winter produces ice-flowers on the window-panes, which vanish with the warmth."	Søren Aaby Kierkegaard
"All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable."	Fran Lebowitz
"All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action."	James Russel Lowell
"Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years."	William Golding
"Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame."	Gilbert Keith Chesterton
"Art strives for form, and hopes for beauty."	Rose Elizabeth Bird
"As against having beautiful workshops, studios, etc., one writes best in a cellar on a rainy day."	Van Wyck Brooks
"As we grow old, the beauty steals inward."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them."	David Hume
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."	Margaret Wolfe Hungerford
"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 defined by the masses but by the opinion of the individual."	Rune Leknes
"Beauty is the radiance of truth, and the frangrance of goodness."	Vincent McNabb
"Beauty?... To me it is a word without sense because I do not know where its meaning comes from nor where it leads to."	Pablo Picasso
"Boys are found everywhere-on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket."	Alan Marshall Beck
"Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks."	Charles Dickens
