Beauty in quotes
July 2, 2008 - Throughout the ages, philosophers and poets have opined about beauty and what it means. Here are some of our favorite quotes on our favorite subject:
"Beauty is nothing other than the promise of happiness" - Stendhal, "On Lоvе"
"Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful" - Emerson, "Thе Cоndυct of Life"
"Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive." - Nіkоs Kаzаntzаkіs
"Nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world" - Amоs Lее
"Beauty is the evidence of why we are here." Adrian D Canfield.
"Anyone who preserves the ability to recognize beauty will never get old." - Frаnz Kаfkа
"That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful" - Ninon de l'Enclos
"In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty" - Chrіstоphеr Mоrlеy
"The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone" - Goethe
"Beauty...when you look into a woman's eyes and see what is in her heart" - Nаtе Dіrcks
"The true beauty of a woman is her inherent ability to make better a man in every way" - Dоn Wіllіаms Jr.
We love that all these quotes fit in nicely with D.Bell's theory that beauty is the representation of values. Can you see why?
