The ideal
beauty is a fugitive which is never found.
-- Marquise De SéVigné
Beauty is but
a vain and doubtful good; a shining gloss that fadeth
suddenly; a flower that dies when it begins to bud; a
doubtful good, a gloss, a glass, a flower, lost, faded,
broken, dead within an hour. -
-- William Shakespeare
1564-1616, British Poet,
Playwright, Actor
To me, fair
friend, you never can be old. For as you were when first
your eye I eyed. Such seems your beauty still.
-- William Shakespeare
1564-1616, British Poet,
Playwright, Actor
Beauty is all
very well at first sight; but whoever looks at it when it
has been in the house three days?

What is most
beautiful in virile men is sometimes feminine; what is most
beautiful in feminine women is something masculine.

Beauty is the
bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind.
-- Edmund Spenser

I would warn
you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or
deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our
imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly,
well-ordered or confused.
-- Baruch
Benedict de) Spinoza
(1632-1677, Dutch Philosopher and Theologian
