Power Of Beauty

“

Yet beauty, though injurious, hath strange power,
After offense returning, to regain
Love once possess’d.

John Milton

“

Oh, she is coming, the dancer of the future… more glorious than any woman who has yet been: more beautiful than the Egyptian, than the early Italian, than all women of past centuries—the highest intelligence in the freest body!

Isadora Duncan

“

Beauty itself doth of itself persuade
The eyes of men without an orator.

William Shakespeare

“

Beautiful… as the fortuitous encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on a dissecting table.

Comte de Lautréamont

“

All orators are dumb when beauty pleadeth.

William Shakespeare

“

In almost every artist nature is inborn a wanton and treacherous proneness to side with the beauty that breaks hearts, to single out aristocratic pretensions and pay them homage.

Thomas Mann
