The yielding marble of her snowy breast.
- quote by Edmund Waller
There are few efforts more conducive to humility than that of the translator trying to communicate an incommunicable beauty. Yet, unless we do try, something unique and never surpassed will cease to exist, except in the libraries of a few inquisitive book lovers.
- quote by Edith Hamilton
There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect. Men do not quarrel about the meaning of sunsets; they never dispute that the hawthorn says the best and wittiest thing about the spring.
- quote by G. K. Chesterton
There is certainly a religion which belongs to the physical form, and which should be regarded in degree as much as that which belongs to the soul. It is as much a duty for every man and woman to perfect fully their physical form as for them to continually search for immortality.
- quote by Cora Hatch
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That is precisely what makes its pursuit so interesting.
- quote by John Kenneth Galbraith
There is in true beauty, as in courage, somewhat which narrow souls cannot dare to admire.
- quote by William Congreve
There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
- quote by Marguerite Gardiner
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
- quote by Francis Bacon
There is nothing truly beautiful but that which can never be of any use whatsoever; everything useful is ugly.
- quote by Théophile Gautier
There was a soft and pensive grace, A cast of thought upon her face, That suited well the forehead high, The eyelash dark, and downcast eve.
- quote by Walter Scott
