Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder or it may only be skin deep, but we appreciate it for what it is, whatever it is. Thats because beauty is an illusive concept. Whats beautiful to one may not be to another. Beauty quotes can help us grasp what beauty is and what it should be. Not only as it relates to us, but to the world around us, from the breathtaking beauty of a sunrise or a rainbow to the exquisite simplicity of a spider web. Because of beauty quotes, we see what is truly beautiful in our world, from the latest fashions of Paris to the awe-inspiring vastness of the Grand Canyon.

Beauty on Wikipedia.org
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness."

"From an epic poem by Keats, it continues, "but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing."

"The greatest beauty tip:
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his / her hands through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed, never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others. be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

"All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory / of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty."

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a w......oman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years. "
