Order is the shape upon which beauty depends.
Pearl S. Buck
It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.
David Attenborough
Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from The Eternal.
Dante Alighieri
Beauty awakens the soul to act.
Dante Alighieri
Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty?
Paul Gauguin
It's not beauty but fine qualities, my girl, that keep a husband.
Euripides
I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passe abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.
Camille Paglia
The 1990s, after the reign of terror of academic vandalism, will be a decade of restoration: restoration of meaning, value, beauty, pleasure, and emotion to art and restoration of art to its audience.
Camille Paglia
Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature.
Camille Paglia
In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare!
Homer
Obscenity, which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life, is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food, which it devours in secret.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress.
Milan Kundera
How goodness heightens beauty!
Milan Kundera
Humanism was not wrong in thinking that truth, beauty, liberty, and equality are of infinite value, but in thinking that man can get them for himself without grace.
Simone Weil
Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.
Simone Weil
So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Competence, like truth, beauty, and contact lenses, is in the eye of the beholder.
Laurence J. Peter
Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.
William Hazlitt
Grace in women has more effect than beauty.
William Hazlitt
