I really wanted there to be something in my life that I enjoy just for the beauty of it.

And I think of that again as I've written in several of my beauty books a lot of health comes from the proper eating habits which are something that - you know I come from a generation that wasn't - didn't have a lot of food.

I was kind of a jock in school. Beauty wasn't something I spent a lot of time on.

Let me tell you something - being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.

Beauty is not something you can count on. Usually when people say you are beautiful it is when there is a harmony between the inside and the outside.

There is in true beauty as in courage something which narrow souls cannot dare to admire.

Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today so beauty is something that changes with time.

Poetry is something to make us wiser and better by continually revealing those types of beauty and truth which God has set in all men's souls.

When I tried to play something and screwed up I'd hear some other note that would come into play. Then I started trying different things to find the beauty in it.

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts as for that subtle something that quality of air that emanation from old trees that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
