Quote

There is in true beauty, as in courage, something which narrow souls cannot dare to admire.

In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.

Secrecy is the element of all goodness; even virtue, even beauty is mysterious.

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

Throughout the centuries, man has considered himself beautiful. I rather suppose that man only believes in his own beauty out of pride; that he is not really beautiful and he suspects this himself; for why does he look on the face of his fellow-man with such scorn?

Beauty, whether moral or natural, is felt, more properly than perceived.

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.

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.

Beauty is the greatest seducer of man.

Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break.
