"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting." ― Charles Kingsley Topic(s): Beauty More From Charles Kingsley "There are two freedoms – the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought." "A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults." "It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means." More In Beauty "The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one’s soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive – you are leaking."― Charles Lamb "Sometimes I think I might not have written ‘The Age of Miracles’ if I hadn’t grown up in California, if I hadn’t been exposed to its very particular blend of beauty and disaster, of danger and denial."― Karen Thompson Walker "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
