When the sun sets beautifully, other beauties rise. Nature is a theatre when one great player leaves the scene, another great player immediately enters. The play always continues excellently.
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
There are beauties of character which, like the night-blooming cereus, are closed against the glare and turbulence of every-day life, and bloom only in shade and solitude, and beneath the quiet stars.
Henry Theodore Tuckerman
Image
Even beauties can be unattractive. If you catch a beauty in the wrong light at the right time, forget it. I believe in low lights and trick mirrors. I believe in plastic surgery.
Andy Warhol

One of the beauties of art is that it reflects an artist's entire life. What I've learned over the past 30 years is really beginning to inform what I make. I hope that process continues until I die.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
No white nor red was ever seen So am'rous as this lovely green. Fond lovers, cruel as their flame, Cut in these trees their mistress' name. Little, alas, they know or heed How far these beauties hers exceed! Fair trees! where s'e'er your barks I wound, No name shall but your own be found.
Andrew Marvell
Image
Translations increase the faults of a work and spoil its beauties.
Voltaire
Image
The painter who is so enamoured by the beauties of the parts of a landscape, that he strives to represent all, cannot succeed. His picture will be an arrangement of a series of portraits of things without unity... There must be variety and contrast, but in measured doses.
Walter J. Phillips
Image
To an even moderately sophisticated and well-read person it should come as no surprise that any religion at all has its hidden as well as its obvious beauties and is capable of profound and impressive interpretations. What is deeply objectionable about most of these interpretations is that they allow the believer to say Yes while evading any No.
Walter Kaufmann

The chief object of every golf architect or greenkeeper worth his salt is to imitate the beauties of nature so closely as to make his work indistinguishable from nature itself.
Alister MacKenzie

They learned to have a very high opinion of God and a very low opinion of His works—although they could tell you that this world had been made by God Himself. What they didn’t see was that it is beautiful, and that some of the greatest beauties are the briefest.
Wendell Berry
Image
Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
Alexander Pope
Image
Most of the beauties of travel are due to the strange hours we keep to see them
William Carlos Williams

There are some older women out there who are just knockouts, real beauties, and they're not getting the roles they should.
William H. Macy
Image
Thought of the incomprehensible sequence of changes and chances that make up a life, all the beauties and horrors and absurdities whose conjunctions create the uninterpretable and yet divinely significant pattern of human destiny.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Beauties that from worth arise are like the grace of deities.
John Suckling
Image
Lovers can do their amorous rites by their own beauties
William Shakespeare
Image
Statesmen and beauties are very rarely sensible of the gradations of their decay.
Lord Chesterfield
Image
Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art, As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel For well thou know'st to my dear doting heart Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel.
William Shakespeare
Image
Where there are many beauties in a poem I shall not cavil at a few faults proceeding either from negligence or from the imperfection of our nature.
Horace
Image
They say night's beauties fade at dawn, and the children of wine are oft disowned in the morning light.
George R. R. Martin
Image
Passing beauties are only the fugitive reflections of the eternal. All beauty alters and all life melts away in short, everything passes with marvelous rapidity beautiful Helen of Troy has become a toothless skull, then a handful of dust, then nothing.
Eliphas Levi
Image
The obedient in art are always the forgotten . . . The country is glorious but its beauties are unknown, and but waiting for a real live artist to splash them onto canvas . . . Chop your own path. Get off the car track.
A. Y. Jackson
Image
There are sometimes beauties in a character which would never have appeared but for a defect, and defects which would never have appeared but for a beauty.
Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke
Image
... Arthur Gride, whose bleared eyes gloated only over the outward beauties, and were blind to the spirit which reigned within, evinced - a fantastic kind of warmth certainly, but not exactly that kind of warmth of feeling which the contemplation of virtue usually inspires.
