The beautiful seems right by force of beauty, and the feeble wrong because of weakness.

But I think beautiful is simple and elegant, like a ballad with simple harmony.

Beauty is a radiance that originates from within and comes from inner security and strong character.

You have to be careful when you use beauty as a guide. There are many theories people didn't think were beautiful at the time but did find beautiful later - and vice versa.

Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.

Beauty is that which is simultaneously attractive and sublime.

Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.

Beauty is but the sensible image of the Infinite. Like truth and justice it lives within us; like virtue and the moral law it is a companion of the soul.

All beauty is truth, and all truth is compassionate. Few know that; fewer still can express it.

Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.
