“. . . these are the times of dreamy quietude, when beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the ocean's skin, one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it; and would not willingly remember, that this velvet paw but conceals a remorseless fang.”
Herman Melville
“It's [beauty] a kind of radiance. People who possess a true inner beauty, their eyes are a little brighter, their skin a little more dewy. They vibrate at a different frequency.”
Cameron Diaz
“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone”
Dorothy Parker
“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.”
Gwyneth Paltrow
“Beauty is only skin deep, and the world is full of thin skinned people”
Richard Armour
“Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit. Somebody said to me not too long ago, 'Until you're twenty, you have the face you are born with, and after that you have the face you deserve', and I really loved that - the idea that you wear who you are on your face.”
Jennifer Lopez
“It's a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I'd be rotten to the core”
Phyllis Diller
