Beauty(Related Subjects: Charm)

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. Anne Frank (1929 - 1945), Diary of a Young Girl, 1952 Like anyone else, there are days I feel beautiful and days I don't, and when I don't, I do something about it. Cheryl Tiegs (1947 - ), O Magazine, May 2004 The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw. Havelock Ellis (1859 - 1939), Impressions and Comments (1914) The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels. Hazrat Inayat Khan Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. Henry Miller (1891 - 1980) I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas? Jean Kerr The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason. John Cage (1912 - 1992) I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.

So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised.

Margaret Cho, weblog, 01-27-04 Order is the shape upon which beauty depends. Pearl Buck (1892 - 1973) Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together. Petrarch (1304 - 1374), De Remedies When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong. R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983) The ability to see beauty is the beginning of our moral sensibility. What we believe is beautiful we will not wantonly destroy. Reverend Sean Parker Dennison, Ministrare, 2-10-05 There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. Sir Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626), "Of Beauty" If there is one thing worse than being an ugly duckling in a house of swans, it's having the swans pretend there's no difference. Teena Booth, Falling From Fire
