Quote

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

The human soul is hungry for beauty; we seek it everywhere - in landscape, music, art, clothes, furniture, gardening, companionship, love, religion, and in ourselves. No one would desire not to be beautiful. When we experience the beautiful, there is a sense of homecoming.

There is a role and function for beauty in our time.

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

Beauty arises out of human inspiration.

There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness.

Beauty is whatever gives joy.

Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.

We all have to find beauty within us, as opposed to just our exterior.

As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.
