Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

The world is merciless, and it’s also very beautiful.

When you leave a beautiful place, you carry it with you wherever you go.

Do not beautify your appearance, but be beautiful in your way of life.

I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.

Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender.

If you see something beautiful in someone, speak it.

Madame, beauty is always queen, and the whole world her empire.

Beauty awakens the soul to act.

Beauty? To me it is a word without sense because I do not know where its meaning comes from nor where it leads to.

Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

I don’t like standard beauty – there is no beauty without strangeness.

When was the last time you just closed your eyes and just listened?
