“Beauty is not caused. It is”

“A witty woman is a treasure; a witty beauty is a power”

“Beauty and folly are old companions”

“Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them”

“Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?”

“The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives”
