Beauty Quotes

Sometimes you walk past a pretty girl on the street there’s something beyond beauty in her face, something warm and smart and inviting, and in the three seconds you have to look at her, you actually fall in love, and in those moments, you can actually know the taste of her kiss, the feel of her skin against yours, the sound of her laugh, how she’ll look at you and make you whole. And then she’s gone, and in the five seconds afterwards, you mourn her loss with more sadness than you’ll ever admit to Picture Quote #1

I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. I hated the sunsets of whatever colour, I hated its beauty and its magic and the secret I would never know. I hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. Above all I hated her. For she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it Picture Quote #1

There is no reason why you should be bored when you can be otherwise. But if you find yourself sitting in the hedgerow with nothing but weeds, there is no reason for shutting your eyes and seeing nothing, instead of finding what beauty you may in the weeds. To put it cynically, life is too short to waste it in drawing blanks. Therefore, it is up to you to find as many pictures to put on your blank pages as possible Picture Quote #1

All of life in its complexity and beauty is forever minted in the gold of words Picture Quote #1

When people first discover beauty, they tend to linger. Even if they don’t at first recognize it for what it is Picture Quote #1

You look hot. The straight men will want you, the gay men will want beauty tips, and the women will want to scratch your eyes out. If that isn’t the stuff of fairy tales, I don’t know what is Picture Quote #1

To beauty, all is forgiven, even vulgarity. Intelligence no longer seems an adequate compensation for things Picture Quote #1

Let my worship be within the heart that rejoices, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. Therefore, let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you Picture Quote #1

In all great works of fiction, regardless of the grim reality they present, there is an affirmation of life against the transience of that life, an essential defiance. This affirmation lies in the way the author takes control of reality by retelling it in his own way, thus creating a new world. Every great work of art, I would declare pompously, is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life. The perfection and beauty of form rebels against the ugliness and shabbiness of the subject matter Picture Quote #1

When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment? Picture Quote #1

I thought: pity the poor in spirit who know neither the enchantment nor the beauty of language Picture Quote #1

Our civilization has fallen out of touch with night. With lights, we drive the holiness and beauty of night back to the forests and the sea; the little villages, the crossroads even, will have none of it. Are modern folk, perhaps, afraid of night? Do they fear that vast serenity, the mystery of infinite space, the austerity of stars? Picture Quote #1

Even knowing the ending was sad, I wouldn’t have deprived myself the beauty of the story Picture Quote #1

Yes, the world may aspire to vacuousness, lost souls mourn beauty, insignificance surrounds us. Then let us drink a cup of tea. Silence descends, one hears the wind outside, autumn leaves rustle and take flight, the cat sleeps in a warm pool of light. And, with each swallow, time is sublimed Picture Quote #1

She was so intelligent that she could think herself into beauty. Intelligence... they don’t talk about it much, the poets, but when a woman is intelligent and passionate and good Picture Quote #1

I would not know what to say to you, except this: there was never a map that got it all right, and truth and beauty were never married to one another for long Picture Quote #1

Imaginative literature primarily pleases rather than teaches. It is much easier to be pleased than taught, but much harder to know why one is pleased. Beauty is harder to analyze than truth Picture Quote #1

The novels were an escape from reality in the sense that we could marvel at their beauty and perfection. Curiously, the novels we escaped into led us finally to question and prod our own realities, about which we felt so helplessly speechless Picture Quote #1

Duende I can’t remember her name. It’s not as though I’ve been in bed with that many women. The truth is I can’t even remember her face. I kind of know how strong her thighs were, and her beauty. But what I won’t forget is the way she tore open the barbecued chicken with her hands, and wiped the grease on her breasts Picture Quote #1

All little creatures are beautiful... every living thing when it first sees life is born in beauty. What they grow to be is a different matter Picture Quote #1

Passing in any crowd are secret people whose hidden response to beauty is the desire to tear it into bleeding meat Picture Quote #1

Extraordinary beauty can be a curse to the one who possesses it. one pays a dear price for fame and fortune Picture Quote #1

Sad words are just another beauty. A sad story means, this storyteller is alive. The next thing you know something fine will happen to her, something marvelous, and then she will turn around and smile Picture Quote #1

Important lessons: look carefully; record what you see. Find a way to make beauty necessary; find a way to make necessity beautiful Picture Quote #1

Like the minor poet who knows the meanness of his gift, I am doomed to a lifetime of frustration: to be able to comprehend beauty, but not create it Picture Quote #1

There was so much of beauty here: the neat, small tracks of a foraging creature, stoat or marten; the inticate tracery of a skeleton leaf, still clinging vainly to its parent tree as, little by little, time stripped it of its substance, leaving only the delicate remembrance of what it had been Picture Quote #1

I’m extremely profane, unconsciously so, when I see something great for the first time; I don’t know why, but beauty and profanity are related to me in the same way. It may be that I want to think of art in the vernacular, but I have no control over what comes out of my mouth when my eyes take in great beauty... it might just be the reason I avoid going to museums with elderly ladies Picture Quote #1

I envied these women I saw before me, their beauty still intact. Life has its revenge of life. Untimely death is the secret of eternal youth Picture Quote #1

Now, I’ve been known to be attractive on special occasions, and I do my best to project as much beauty as I can muster from deep inside, though I often fail Picture Quote #1

That the world was silent and cold and bare and that in this lay its terrible beauty Picture Quote #1
