You don't know what the Chinese expect in the way of beauty. The presentation is just a farce. You come into a room filled with 50 people and they don't talk to you. There's very little interaction.

Los Angeles is like a beauty parlor at the end of the universe.

A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language.

Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.

The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.

As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.

I'm proud that today, at 43 years old, I've come to value the aging process and focus on inner rather than outer beauty.

There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty.

Not longer loved or fostered by religion, beauty is lifted from its face as a mask, and its absence exposes features on that face which threaten to become incomprehensible to man.

We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it.
