“I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation.”
Hebbel
“Love of beauty is Taste. The creation of beauty is Art.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.”
Oscar Wilde
“After all, what would be "beautiful" if the contradiction had not first become conscious of itself, if the ugly had not first said to itself: "I am ugly"?”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Reckoned physiologically, everything ugly weakens and afflicts man. It recalls decay, danger, impotence; he actually suffers a loss of energy in its presence. The effect of the ugly can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever man feels in any way depressed, he senses the proximity of something ''ugly.'' His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride -- they decline with the ugly, they increase with the beautiful.”
“Truly knowing God through the mere glimpses of His hand in the beautiful complexities of His creation, seeing the purest of loving hope in the eyes of His beloved, and walking each day being upheld by His ever-present mercy and grace, is so much more than the human mind can fathom. Faith is all that can even begin to comprehend such a love.”
Joey Talladino
“A thoroughly beautiful woman and a thoroughly homely woman are creations which I love to gaze upon, and which I cannot tire of gazing upon, for each is perfect in her own line”
Mark Twain
