Beauty Quotes
1) Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty. -David Hume
3) I think that when you consider the beauty of the world and you wonder how it came to be what it is, you are naturally overwhelmed with a feeling of awe, a feeling of admiration and you almost feel a desire to worship something. I feel this, I recognize that other scientists such as Carl Sagan feel this, Einstein felt it. We, all of us, share a kind of religious reverence for the beauties of the universe, for the complexity of life. For the sheer magnitude of the cosmos, the sheer magnitude of geological time. And it’s tempting to translate that feeling of awe and worship into a desire to worship some particular thing, a person, an agent. You want to attribute it to a maker, to a creator. What science has now achieved is an emancipation from that impulse to attribute these things to a creator. -Richard Dawkins
4) The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together. -Carl Sagan

She is beautiful. -F. Scott Fitzgerald

If there are people who are indifferent to beauty, then it is surely because they do not perceive it. -Roger Scruton
