Quote

Beauty is a relation, and the apprehension of it a comparison.

To me, 'beauty' means to be natural, creative, honest - to say the truth.

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

Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork - reading, writing, thinking - can.

I didn't grow up identifying with beauty. I grew up thinking I could be smart and funny - those are the things I got feedback on.

Beauty arises out of human inspiration.

Do not confuse beauty with beautiful. Beautiful is a human judgment. Beauty is All. The difference is everything.

Not to sound corny, but intelligence is big. Everything fades, and everything can be modified. But intelligence is something you can't fake. I'm not even talking about whether you can read a thesaurus backwards. But there is a beauty in common sense.

Beauty is not something you can count on. Usually, when people say you are beautiful, it is when there is a harmony between the inside and the outside.

I think intelligence is totally subjective; it's like sexiness.
