Famous Quotes & Sayings

Andre Breton

Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all.

Amy Davis

True beauty lies deep within. No matter what you look like on the outside, if you know you are beautiful, nothing can change that.

Anais Nin

When you possess light within, you see it externally.

Amanda Peet

Beauty is only skin deep. If you go after someone just because she's beautiful but don't have anything to talk about, it's going to get boring fast. You want to look beyond the surface and see if you can have fun or if you have anything in common with this person.

Anne Carson

Beauty spins and the mind moves. To catch beauty would be to understand how that impertinent stability in vertigo is possible. But no, delight need not reach so far. To be running breathlessly, but not yet arrived, is itself delightful, a suspended moment of living hope.

Anne Frank

I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains....My advice is: Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you and be happy!

Chuck Palahniuk

Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body - meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit. I was like, 'Look, I can carry a baby! I'm gaining weight right, everything's going well.' And I've had that relationship ever since.

Anthony de Mello

Because you cannot see outside of you what you fail to see inside.

Anthony de Mello

"Why is everyone here so happy except me?" "Because they have learned to see goodness and beauty everywhere," said the Master. "Why don't I see goodness and beauty everywhere?" "Because you cannot see outside of you what you fail to see inside."

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Well we'd just seen Gerry. I think he wanted somebody who had that authority and was handsome. The thing is, he's a big hunk isn't he? All I can say, if you look at his chat line, or the Phantom website, it's quite worrying. Because the girls really seem to love him.

Ambrose Bierce

QUIXOTIC, adj. Absurdly chivalric, like Don Quixote. An insight into the beauty and excellence of this incomparable adjective is unhappily denied to him who has the misfortune to know that the gentleman's name is pronounced Ke-ho-tay.

Ambrose Bierce

The creator and arbiter of beauty is the heart; to the male rattlesnake the female rattlesnake is the loveliest thing in nature.

Ambrose Bierce

Beauty, n: the power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.

Alison Bechdel

I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to comics history.

Alice Walker

In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

For it is only framed in space that beauty blooms. Only in space are events and objects and people unique and significant-and therefore beautiful. A tree has significance if one sees it against the empty face of sky. A note in music gains significance from the silences on either side. A candle flowers in the space of night. Even small and casual things take on significance if they are washed in space, like a few autumn grasses in one corner of an Oriental painting, the rest of the page bare.

Alphonse de Lamartine

Exquisite beauty resides rather in the female form than face, where it is also more lasting.

A. A. Milne

When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen.

A. A. Milne

What I say is that, if a fellow really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow.

Dan Hill

The critical thing addressed here today is that there are a good number of people who do not have a family connection to hunting or the outdoors. It takes a caring older person to introduce a young person to the outdoor life. That is the beauty of the mentoring concept. It can be a hard thing to see the beauty and the joy of the outdoor experience all on your own, at least initially. Much more has been accomplished here today that preaching to the choir.
