Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days? Monday, June 25, 2012

Let but a single flash of reality -- the glimpse of
a woman from afar or from behind -- enable us to project the image of Beauty
before our eyes, and we imagine that we have recognised it, our hearts beat, and
we will always remain half-persuaded that it was She, provided that the woman
has vanished: it is only if we manage to overtake her that we realise our
mistake.

Beauty, n. The power by which a woman charms
a lover and terrifies a husband.

- Ask me where beauty is, I'll say
- 'Tis in sweet maiden's witchery;
- Amid the beams of her flashing eye
- When pleasure's cup is sparkling high,
- And new-born love's first artless glances
- Illume her brow,
- And joy within her young heart dances
- For the first vow;
- When she knows not ofo blighting care,
- And all is bright, and fresh, and fair;
- And fancy's banner is unfurled,
- Tinting with rose her future world;
- Nor cloud, nor mist dims in her eye
- The sunshine of life's morning sky,
- That, with such gay and golden beams,
- Colours her happy youth with dreams.

I find beauty in unusual things, like hanging your head out the window or sitting on a fire escape.

- A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.

It's important for all types of women to know that you don't have to fit a prototype of what one person thinks is beautiful in order to be beautiful or feel beautiful.... People think, Sexy, big breasts, curvy body, no cellulite. It's not that. Take the girl at the beach with the cellulite legs, wearing her bathing suit the way she likes it, walking with a certain air, comfortable with herself. That woman is sexy. Then you see the perfect girl who's really thin, tugging at her bathing suit, wondering how her hair looks. That's not sexy.JENNIFER LOPEZ, Readers Digest, Aug. 2003

"Beauty is a precarious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well. Often it seems to me to be an evil flower of nothingness, or else the cry of the world as it dies, or a desperate, sumptuous prayer."EUGENE IONESCO, Present Past / Past Present

"Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles. Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side."
