Depression opens the door to beauty of some kind.
James Hillman

Always think of what is useful and not what is beautiful. Beauty will come of its own accord.
Nikolai Gogol

Beauty opened all the doors; it got me things I didn't even know I wanted, and things I certainly didn't deserve.
Janice Dickinson

Life deprived of beauty is not worthy of being called human.
Luis Barragan

Beauty is the oracle that speaks to us all.
Luis Barragan

What is sacred among one people may be ridiculous in another; and what is despised or rejected by one cultural group, may in a different environment become the cornerstone for a great edifice of strange grandeur and beauty.
Hu Shih

She gave up beauty in her tender youth, gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways; she covered up her eyes lest they should gaze on vanity, and chose the bitter truth.
Christina Rossetti

Death is the mother of Beauty; hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires.
Wallace Stevens

I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections, Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling, Or just after.
Wallace Stevens

Beauty is not just physical.
Halle Berry

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.
Kevyn Aucoin

That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.
Kevyn Aucoin

Beauty has a lot to do with character.
Kevyn Aucoin

Today I see beauty everywhere I go, in every face I see, in every single soul.
Kevyn Aucoin

Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness, I was never going to be forgiven.
Kevyn Aucoin

All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty paints and when it painted most, I shot.
Ernst Haas

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

For what the horse does under compulsion, as Simon also observes, is done without understanding; and there is no beauty in it either, any more than if one should whip and spur a dancer.
Xenophon
