The lake was silent for some time. Finally, it said:
I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.
- Paulo Coelho
You see it is likely that, when my brother told the story, that night when we got home and my mother and sister sat listening, I did not think he got the point. He was too young and so was I. A thing so complete has its own beauty.
I shall not try to emphasize the point. I am only explaining why I was dissatisfied then and have been ever since. I speak of that only that you may understand why I have been impelled to try to tell the simple story over again.
- Sherwood Anderson
Mathematics reveals its secrets only to those who approach it with pure love, for its own beauty.
- Archimedes
When a woman has five grown-up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.
- Jane Austen
But I loved Narcissus because as he lay on my banks and looked down at me, in the mirror of his eyes I saw ever my own beauty mirrored.
- Oscar Wilde
Aphrodite strikes again, huh? You're gonna be the best-dressed warrior in town, beauty queen.
- Rick Riordan
To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same fields, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
As God delights in his own beauty, he must necessarily delight in the creature's holiness which is a conformity to and participation of it, as truly as [the] brightness of a jewel, held in the sun's beams, is a participation or derivation of the sun's brightness, though immensely less in degree.
- Jonathan Edwards
Every woman should see herself looking uniquely breathtaking, in something tailored to celebrate her body, so that she is better able to appreciate her own beauty and better equipped to withstand the ideals of our narrow-waisted, narrow- minded culture.
- Susan Jane Gilman
She felt so much aware of her own beauty it seemed inconceivable that everybody else wouldn't notice the difference too.
- Anna Godbersen
Lila can't be a model until she's at least 21. She is already a mini-me - it is scary. She already has her own beauty kit.
- Kate Moss
Throughout the centuries, man has considered himself beautiful. I rather suppose that man only believes in his own beauty out of pride; that he is not really beautiful and he suspects this himself; for why does he look on the face of his fellow-man with such scorn?
- Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont
Rome is not outside me, but inside me.. Her feverish sweetness, her tragic countryside, her own beauty and harmony, all these are mine, for my thought and my work.
- Amedeo Modigliani
Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don't recognize our own beauty because we're too busy comparing ourselves to other people.
- Kelly Osbourne
Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
- Rumi
That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.
- Rumi
She had a brainy girls discomfort about her own beauty and its effects on folks.
- David Foster Wallace
I think I like 'em better like that...divinely dull...just the quiet bearers of their own beauty, like the priestesses in a Panathenaic procession.
- Edith Wharton
