Quotations
Beauty
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.
-Elisabeth Kubler Ross "Elisabeth Kubler-Ross"
A beautiful woman should break her mirror early.
-Baltasar Gracián
"The Art of Worldly Wisdom"
Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows.
-Nick Bantock
"Griffin and Sabine"
Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty.
-Charles Baudelaire
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so,
because it serenely disdains to destroy us.
Every angel is terrible.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
"Duino Elegies"
