Bible on beauty   

"There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness."

Baudelaire, Charles on beauty
7 fans of this quote   

"All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory -- of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty."
