Beauty

The beauty of the world, which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

Virginia Woolf

Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.

Jacqueline Bisset

Frederika Bremer

Who has not experienced how, on nearer acquaintance, plainness becomes beautified, and beauty loses charm, according to the quality of the heart and mind?

I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin deep. That's deep enough. What do you want - an adorable pancreas?

Jean Kerr
