Choose a letter: 
I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
Whitney Houston, American Musician (1963-  )
Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.
Vernon Howard, American Author
Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.
Langston Hughes, American Poet (1902-1967)
What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain.
Victor Hugo, French Author (1802-1885)
To love beauty is to see light.
Victor Hugo, French Author (1802-1885)
Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble; in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
Victor Hugo, French Author (1802-1885)
Great perils have this beauty, that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers.
Victor Hugo, French Author (1802-1885)
The ideal and the beautiful are identical; the ideal corresponds to the idea, and beauty to form; hence idea and substance are cognate.
Victor Hugo, French Author (1802-1885)
Coercion may prevent many transgressions; but it robs even actions which are legal of a part of their beauty. Freedom may lead to many transgressions, but it lends even to vices a less ignoble form.
Wilhelm von Humboldt, German Educator (1767-1835)
Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.
David Hume, Scottish Philosopher (1711-1776)
Beauty is no quality in things themselves. It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them.
David Hume, Scottish Philosopher (1711-1776)
Beauty, whether moral or natural, is felt, more properly than perceived.
David Hume, Scottish Philosopher (1711-1776)
Accuracy is, in every case, advantageous to beauty, and just reasoning to delicate sentiment. In vain would we exalt the one by depreciating the other.
David Hume, Scottish Philosopher (1711-1776)
We are learning, too, that the love of beauty is one of Nature's greatest healers.
Ellsworth Huntington, Educator
Jordan has a strange, haunting beauty and a sense of timelessness. Dotted with the ruins of empires once great, it is the last resort of yesterday in the world of tomorrow. I love every inch of it.
King Hussein I, Jordanian Statesman (1935-1999)
It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
Aldous Huxley, English Novelist (1894-1963)
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Aldous Huxley, English Novelist (1894-1963)
I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired.
Janis Ian, American Musician (1951-  )
A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life.
Jean Ingelow, English Poet (1820-1897)
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.
Eugene Ionesco, French Dramatist (1912-1994)
