Beauty Quotes and Sayings
Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress. ~ Milan Kundera. Beauty is momentary in the mind —/ The fitful tracing of a portal;/ But in the flesh it is immortal./ The body dies; the body’s beauty lives. ~ Wallace Stevens. The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. ~ Arundhati Roy. I’ve heard there was a secret chord/ That David played, and it pleased the Lord/ But you don’t really care for music, do you?/ It goes like this/ The fourth, the fifth/ The minor fall, the major lift/ The baffled king composing Hallelujah/...Your faith was strong but you needed proof/ You saw her bathing on the roof/ Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you/ She tied you to a kitchen chair/ She broke your throne, and she cut your hair/And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah/...Baby I have been here before/ I know this room, I’ve walked this floor/ I used to live alone before I knew you./ I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch/ Love is not a victory march/ It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah/...Maybe there’s a God above/ But all I’ve ever learned from love/ Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you/ It’s not a cry you can hear at night/ It’s not somebody who has seen the light/ It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah. ~ Leonard Cohen. Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. ~ Marilyn Monroe. |
