"It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But it is better to be good than to be ugly."
Oscar Wilde
"It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the rebuke recoils."
Winston Churchill
"It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from."
C.S. Lewis
"Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies."
John Donne

Annie Dillard
"Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference."
Aristotle

Emily Dickinson
"Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty -- excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable -- should persist after the beauty was gone."
Aristotle
"Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty -- excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable -- should persist after the beauty was gone."
Mary Arnim
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."
Helen Keller
"The criterion of true beauty is that it increases on examination; if false, that it lessens. There is therefore, something in true beauty that corresponds with right reason, and is not the mere creation of fancy."
Fulke Greville
"The flowers anew, returning seasons bring! But beauty faded has no second spring."
Frank Moore Colby
"There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness."
Marguerite Gardiner Blessington
"Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you, and be happy."
Anne Frank
"To love beauty is to see light."
Victor Hugo
"We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."
Buckminster Fuller
