"Whether you come from heaven or hell, what does it matter, O Beauty!" ― Charles Baudelaire Topic(s): Beauty More From Charles Baudelaire "Always be a poet, even in prose." "It would be difficult for me not to conclude that the most perfect type of masculine beauty is Satan, as portrayed by Milton." "Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances." More In Beauty "Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul."― Saint Augustine "Aging has a wonderful beauty and we should have respect for that."― Eartha Kitt "When I speak of the beauty of a game of chess, then naturally this is subjective. Beauty can be found in a very technical, mathematical game for example. That is the beauty of clarity."― Vladimir Kramnik
