Where beauty
is worshipped for beauty's sake as a goddess, independent of
and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible
putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes
are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of
beauty.
-- Aldous Huxley
1894-1963, British Author
Beauty is
worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and
beholder.
-- Immermann
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
1912-, Romanian-born French
Playwright
A thing of
beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will
never pass into nothingness; but still will keep a bower
quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health,
and quiet breathing...
-- John Keats
1795-1821, British Poet
