Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing has a greater influence on a man’s behavior than his outward appearance, and not so much his appearance as his belief in whether or not he is attractive.

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.

I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want — an adorable pancreas?
