Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

Schönheit ist Ewigkeit, die sich in einem Spiegel anschaut. - Aber ihr seid die Ewigkeit, und ihr seid der Spiegel.

Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours; let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.

Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful.

True beauty is a rayThat springs from the sacred depths of the soul,and illuminates the body, just as lifesprings from the kernel of a stone andgives colour and scent to a flower.

Schönheit ist kein Bedürfnis, sondern eine Verzückung.

Haven't we heard that obvious beauty is the cause of many hidden distresses and deep suffering? Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires the poets, the same moon that angers the silence of the sea with a terrible roar?

We fear death, yet we long for slumber and beautiful dreams.

Beauty in not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
