“But then she thought about the falcon, how it was made to do what it did and had no choice in the matter. It was eat pigeon (or sparrow or rat or raccoon) or die, and Kid supposed that the beauty of the falcon was directly related to its ability to kill, a completely different kind of beauty than the beauty of the pigeon, and that humans' ability to recognize the two beauties and not to call one beautiful and the other ugly said a lot about humans in ways you could probably spend years contemplating.”
― Anne Fleming, The Goat

“We are right, he said, and the others are wrong. To speak of these things and to try to understand their nature and, having understood it, to try slowly and humbly and constantly to express, to press out again, from the gross earth or what it brings forth, from sound and shape and colour which are the prison gates of our soul, an image of the beauty we have come to understand- that is art.”
― James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

― Italo Calvino, The Watcher and Other Stories

“Aschenbach noticed with astonishment the lad's perfect beauty. His faced recalled the noblest moment of Greek sculpture—pale, with a sweet reserve, with clustering honey-coloured ringlets, the brow and nose descending in one line, the winning mouth, the expression of pure and godlike serenity. Yet with all this chaste perfection of form it was of such unique personal charm that the observer though he had never seen, either in nature or art, anything so utterly happy and consummate.”
― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Stories

“Sun and sea air could not burn his skin, it was the same creamy marble hue as at first—though he did look a little pale, either from the cold or in the bluish moonlight of the arc-lamps. The shapely brows were so delicately drawn, the eyes so deeply dark—lovelier he was than words could say, and as often the thought visited Aschenbach, and brought its own pang, that language could but extol, not reproduce, the beauties of the sense.”
― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Stories

“The sight of that dear form was unexpected, it had appeared unhoped-for, without giving him time to compose his features. Joy, surprise, and admiration might have painted themselves quite openly upon his face - and just at this second it happened that Tadzio smiled. Smiled at Aschenbach, unabashed and friendly, a speaking, winning, captivating smile, with slowly parting lips. With such a smile it might be that Narcissus bent over the mirroring pool, a smile profound, infatuated, lingering, as he put out his arms to the reflection of his own beauty; the lips just slightly pursed, perhaps half-realizing his own folly in trying to kiss the cold lips of his shadow—with a mingling of coquetry and curiosity and a faint unease, enthralling and enthralled.”
― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Stories

“I don't know what it is, but I hope that it's not mine.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

“It is true I was too serious. But perhaps the other children, and even the teachers, were not serious enough. The spider's silk lines of chance that can break and wash out from beneath you one or more of your cornerstones, toppling you into heartache and confusion, estrangement. Perhaps I was too aware of the tenuousness (and hence the beauty) of one's foundations, but I often thought others around me were not enough aware.”
― Rick Bass, The Sky, The Stars, The Wilderness

“Other philosophers asked questions like: Is Truth Beauty, and is Beauty Truth? and: Is Reality Created by the Observer? But Didactylos posed the famous philosophical conundrum: "Yes, But What's It Really All About, Then, When You Get Right Down To It, I Mean Really!”
― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

“A historian reveals that excavations at Adichanalu determine that Thirai Meelar which means sea farers traveled across continents. It was considered a talent to be able to return back to the home turf. The reading led toward another instance of beauty. Tamil sailors used the same technique as sea-turtles to return home. Sea-turtles floated along sea currents but did not swim in oceans. I sit like a harbinger of tides along the coast, unaware of the migration or home, in search of sea-turtles.”
― Sneha Subramanian Kanta

the language of love,

and yourself more.

you fail to comprehend
the beauty of this world.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya, Safa Tempo: Poems New & Selected

“Fountain pens let you write with flair.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

“Past homes that lie sleeping in streets
beneath the scent of flowers and of salt
a journey set down in complicated paths
until the stones run clear into the ocean
the rising light reaching down
into the depths of that water
then reflecting and resting
on this small world, full of beauty
on you, full of beauty”
― Tamara Rendell, Mystical Tides

“But there isn't actually a most beautiful person in the world, because there are so many kinds of beauty.”
― Rebecca Solnit

“Those who search for beauty
In the figure, appeal and skin
Are bound to be dismayed, disappointed,
After all, my beauty is within!”
