Beauty is produced by the pleasing appearance and good taste of the whole and by the dimensions of all the parts being duly proportioned to each other.
We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it.
Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity and a sign of death as well.
Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus there exists no beautiful woman none at all because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.
Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.
No matter what a woman's appearance may be it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.
A woman can be very beautiful and an ideal model and she will photograph incredibly well but she'll appear in film and it won't work. What works is some fusion of physical beauty with some mental field or whatever you call it. I don't know.
The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility you are not attractive - you are leaking.
The plainer the dress the greater luster does beauty appear.
Even in the centuries which appear to us to be the most monstrous and foolish the immortal appetite for beauty has always found satisfaction.
I love her attitude but as much as I'd like to bring my medals to a speech or appearance I never do.
Attitude is more important than the past than education than money than circumstances than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance giftedness or skill.
In the world of language or in other words in the world of art and liberal education religion necessarily appears as mythology or as Bible.
The New York art world readily proves people wrong. Just when folks say that things stink and flibbertigibbet critics wish the worst on us all because we're not pure enough good omens appear.
The trend in some of the contemporary movements in art but by no means all seems to deny this ideal and to me appears to lead to a purely decorative conception of painting.
Eloquence n. The art of orally persuading fools that white is the color that it appears to be. It includes the gift of making any color appear white.
The challenge is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible possible.
