Beauty
Quotes - You are beautiful like demolition
“You're
arguing that the fragile, rare thing is beautiful simply because it is fragile
and rare. But that's a lie, and you know it.”
―
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
“I
suspect he's sweet on Sophie and doesn't like to see her work too hard.'
Tessa
was glad to hear it. She'd felt awful about her reaction to Sophie's scar, and
the thought that Sophie had a male admirer - and a handsome one like that-
eased her conscience slightly. 'Perhaps he's in love with Agatha', she said.
'I
hope not. I intend to marry Agatha myself. She may be a thousand years old, but
she makes an incomparable jam tart. Beauty fades, but cooking is eternal.”

Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
“I
am thinking of beauty again, how some things are hunted because we have deemed
them beautiful. If, relative to the history of our planet, an individual life
is so short, a blink, as they say, then to be gorgeous, even from the day
you're born to the day you die, is to be gorgeous only briefly.”

Yogananda, Autobiography of a Yogi
“You
are beautiful like demolition. Just the thought of you draws my knuckles white.
I don’t need a god. I have you and your beautiful mouth, your hands holding
onto me, the nails leaving unfelt wounds, your hot breath on my neck. The taste
of your saliva. The darkness is ours. The nights belong to us. Everything we do
is secret. Nothing we do will ever be understood; we will be feared and kept
well away from. It will be the stuff of legend, endless discussion and
limitless inspiration for the brave of heart. It’s you and me in this room, on
this floor. Beyond life, beyond morality. We are gleaming animals painted in
moonlit sweat glow. Our eyes turn to jewels and everything we do is an example
of spontaneous perfection. I have been waiting all my life to be with you. My
heart slams against my ribs when I think of the slaughtered nights I spent all
over the world waiting to feel your touch. The time I annihilated while I
waited like a man doing a life sentence. Now you’re here and everything we
touch explodes, bursts into bloom or burns to ash. History atomizes and negates
itself with our every shared breath. I need you like life needs life. I want
you bad like a natural disaster. You are all I see. You are the only one I want
to know.”

“Beauty
is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an
eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.”
― Albert
Camus, Notebooks 1935-1942
“A
culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but
an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political
sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.”

beautiful for others.”

"Does
it make it easier?"
"I
don't understand you."

have beautiful eyes. Does it lighten the burden of your Grace, to know you have
beautiful eyes?”

“But
beauty is about finding the right fit, the most natural fit, To be perfect, you
have to feel perfect about yourself --- avoid trying to be something you're
not. For a goddess, that's especially hard. We can change so easily.

atoms are put together.”
