"In the 19th century, you had bourgeois art without politics – an almost frozen idea of what beauty is." ― Douglas Sirk Topic(s): Beauty More From Douglas Sirk "There arose a belief in style – and in banality. Banality encompassed politics, too, because it was a common belief that politics were not worthy of art." "And in movies you must be a gambler. To produce films is to gamble." "I was making films about American society, and it is true that I never felt at home there, except perhaps when my wife and I lived on a farm in the San Fernando Valley." More In Beauty "Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise."― Victor Hugo "Beauty and the Beast seemed like it all was really brown. The whole thing was just so brown and orange and yellow, like Burger King or something. I don’t think I would have liked Beauty and the Beast at any age."― Mike Judge "Beauty, the eternal Spouse of the Wisdom of God and Angel of his Presence thru’ all creation."― Robert Brault
