Beauty Quotes and Sayings
World, in hounding me, what do you gain'/ How can it harm you if I choose, astutely,/ rather to stock my mind with things of beauty,/ than waste its stock on every beauty's claim. ~ Sor Juana In's De La Cruz. There is sometimes a greater judgment shewn in deviating from the rules of art, than in adhering to them; and...there is more beauty in the works of a great genius who is ignorant of all the rules of art, than in the works of a little genius, who not only knows but scrupulously observes them. ~ Joseph Addison. Cricket remains for me the game of games, the sanspareil, the great metaphor, the best marriage ever devised of mind and body... it remains the Proust of pastimes, the subtlest and most poetic, the most past-and-present; whose beauty can lie equally in days, in a whole, or in...a blinding split second. ~ John Robert Fowles. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all. ~ Oscar Wilde. |
