Beauty is not just physical.

For me, the beauty of a person is a matter of the whole package. You have to look at the whole thing, not just a matter of outward appearance or whatever. It has to do with one's character, personality, upbringing and so on.

I contend that every woman has the right to feel beautiful, no matter how scrambled her features, or how indifferent her features.

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

No matter what a woman's appearance may be, it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.

Beauty can come in strange forms.

Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble; in a statue the marble must be like flesh.

I try to figure out - intellectually, philosophically, psychologically - what the experience of beauty is.

Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.

Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
