~BEAUTY~

"The perception of beauty is a moral test." ~Henry David Thoreau

"Greetings to you, village beauty, young girl who pokes her head inquisitively out of the window; fear not, I shall not disturb your peace; oh, just look straight at me, so that I do not quite forget you." ~Soren Kierkegaard

"What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist." ~Pablo Picasso

"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
