"I had always loved beautiful and artistic things, though before leaving America I had had a very little chance of seeing any."	Emma Albani
"The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive-you are leaking."	Fran Lebowitz
"All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable."	Fran Lebowitz
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion."	Francis Bacon
"Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naïvety rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man-the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined."	Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"It seems to me we can never give up longing And wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, And we must hunger after them."	George Eliot
"Thou art gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream, And I seek thee in vain by the meadow and stream."	George Linley
"Plainness has its peculiar temptations quite as much as beauty."	George Eliot
"I hope you have lost your good looks, for while they last any fool can adore you, and the adoration of fools is bad for the soul. No, give me a ruined complexion and a lost figure and sixteen chins on a farmyard of Crow's feet and an obvious wig. Then you shall see me coming out strong."	George Bernard Shaw
"Did is a word of achievement Won't is a word of defeat Might is a word of bereavement Can't is a word of defeat Ought is a word of duty Try is a word each hour Will is a word of beauty Can is a word of power."	Gerard Hargraves
"Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame."	Gilbert Keith Chesterton
"It must require an inordinate share of vanity and presumption, too, after enjoying so much that is good and beautiful on earth, to ask the Lord for immortality in addition to all."	Heinrich Heine
"When Charles first saw our child Mary, he said all the proper things for a new father. He looked upon the poor little red thing and blurted, "She's more beautiful than the Brooklyn Bridge."	Helen Hayes
"It is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while."	Helen Adams Keller
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."	Helen Adams Keller
"There are moods in which one feels the impulse to enter a tacit protest against too gross an appetite for pure aesthetics in this starving and sinning world. One turns half away, musingly, from certain beautiful useless things."	Henry James
"Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such."	Henry Miller
"Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music-the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself."	Henry Miller
"Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life, it is life itself."	Henry Havelock Ellis
"Life without sex might be safer but it would be unbearably dull. It is the sex instinct which makes women seem beautiful, which they are once in a blue moon, and men seem wise and brave, which they never are at all. Throttle it, denaturalize it, take it away, and human existence would be reduced to the prosiac, laborious, boresome, imbecile level of life in an anthill."	Henry Louis Mencken
