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"
There is no better cosmetic, than the laughter on a woman’s face.
-Estée Lauder
Death is the mother of beauty. Only the perishable can be beautiful, which is why we are unmoved by artificial flowers.
-Wallace Stevens
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"
No matter how plain a woman maybe, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
