"Beauty is not caused. It is." ― Emily Dickinson Topic(s): Beauty More From Emily Dickinson "After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs." "There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry." "The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience." More In Beauty "Whenever, at a party, I have been in the mood to study fools, I have always looked for a great beauty: they always gather round her like flies around a fruit stall."― Jean Paul "Real beauty knocks you a little bit off kilter."― David Byrne "I am a thing of beauty."― Frank Sinatra
