If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore.

“I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.”

Beauty is the spirit of all things, an exaltation, a psalm of life and death, of good and evil, of vileness and purity, of joy and pain, of hate and love—all of it incarnate in the object we see or hear. It is an empathy, a feeling into art or nature that we observe—all of it a singing harmony to our senses.

Perfect love is the most beautiful of all frustrations because it is more than one can express.

Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish. 

If you think about Audrey Hepburn, I think she became more beautiful when she stopped being an actress and started working with humanitarian campaigns. The more engaged you can become the more you can shed your self-consciousness.

“I like to walk about among the beautiful things that adorn the world; but private wealth I should decline, or any sort of personal possessions, because they would take away my liberty.”

“What is the part of wisdom? To dream with one eye open; to be detatched from the world without being hostile to it; to welcome fugitive beauties and pity fugitive sufferings, without forgetting for a moment how fugitive they are.”

“I like to walk about amidst the beautiful things that adorn the world.”

“To feel beauty is a better thing than to understand how we come to feel it. To have imagination and taste, to love the best, to be carried by the contemplation of nature to a vivid faith in the ideal, all this is more, a great deal more, than any science can hope to be.”

“Beauty as we feel it is something indescribable; what it is or what it means can never be said.”

The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns

"Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good."

It's always great to visit Taranaki; it's beautiful, and I've caught some great waves there.

"Fashion has two purposes: comfort and love. Beauty comes when fashion succeeds."

"Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside."

“Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!”

“Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!”

“The beautification of the world is not a work of nature, but a work of art, then it involves an artist.” 

It's kind of bizarre, isn't it? Having that kind of attention. I'm not under the microscope in the same fashion that a lot of the other cast members are, so I think I can slide under the radar a little bit more, but getting any attention at all is completely new for me.

It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, I feel good, and no one's gonna stop me now.

Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.

Make peace with the universe. Take joy in it. It will turn to gold. Resurrection will be now. Every moment, a new beauty.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
