Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
-- Aristotle
BC 384-322, Greek Philosopher
|
Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.
-- Aristotle
BC 384-322, Greek Philosopher
|
Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty --excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable --should persist after the beauty was gone.
-- Mary Arnim
1866-1941, Australian-born British Novelist
