I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.'

I think every person has their own identity and beauty. Everyone being different is what is really beautiful. If we were all the same it would be boring.

This is so cliche but my beauty icon would have to be Angelina Jolie. She looks like she wears natural makeup but she's still beautiful.

And often it would be a woman who was in her 70s or 80s who would win the beauty contest because bound feet never age.

It used to happen in villages and towns in China that they would have - I guess you'd call them beauty contests - where all of the women of a particular village or town would be seated behind these screens or curtains with only their feet showing.

I'm still figuring out why people would want to look at me. Maybe it's generic beauty but it's weird to be valued for something I was born with.

Beauty and the Beast seemed like it all was really brown. The whole thing was just so brown and orange and yellow like Burger King or something. I don't think I would have liked Beauty and the Beast at any age.

The idea that happiness could have a share in beauty would be too much of a good thing.

There's a sadness to the human condition that I think music is good for. It gives a counterpoint to the visual beauty and adds depth to pictures that they wouldn't have if the music wasn't there.

Such discussions help us very little to enjoy what has been well done in art or poetry to discriminate between what is more and what is less excellent in them or to use words like beauty excellence art poetry with a more precise meaning than they would otherwise have.

Doors open because you're beautiful but I wouldn't cultivate beauty to the exclusion of brains.

Art requires philosophy just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise what would become of beauty?

I tried for a while to be an agricultural worker and was hopelessly bored. I would stand around in heaps of manure and sing about the beauty of the work I wasn't doing.

I tried for a while to be an agricultural worker and was hopelessly bored. To me it was meaningless. I would stand around in heaps of manure and sings about the beauty of the work I wasn't doing.

I would like to say to people open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don't expect it.

I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly well-ordered or confused.

I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune while character comes from within.

Accuracy is in every case advantageous to beauty and just reasoning to delicate sentiment. In vain would we exalt the one by depreciating the other.

Who would not give up wit for power and beauty?

It would be difficult for me not to conclude that the most perfect type of masculine beauty is Satan as portrayed by Milton.

It is dangerous for mortal beauty or terrestrial virtue to be examined by too strong a light. The torch of Truth shows much that we cannot and all that we would not see.

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.

If in my youth I had realized that the sustaining splendour of beauty of with which I was in love would one day flood back into my heart there to ignite a flame that would torture me without end how gladly would I have put out the light in my eyes.

Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.
