"I slept and dreamt that life was beauty; I woke and found that life was duty." ― George Byron Topic(s): Beauty More From George Byron "Lovers may be and indeed generally are enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of Self in all their speculations." "Shelley is truth itself and honour itself notwithstanding his out-of-the-way notions about religion." "There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more." More In Beauty "Hollywood needs to recognise all shades of African American beauty."― Gabrielle Union "Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars – mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?"― Richard P. Feynman "Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together."― Petrarch
