"There are as many kinds of beauty as there are habitual ways of seeking happiness." ― Charles Baudelaire Topic(s): Beauty More From Charles Baudelaire "It is from the womb of art that criticism was born." "To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art – that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts." "Modernity is the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent, which make up one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immutable. This transitory fugitive element, which is constantly changing, must not be despised or neglected." More In Beauty "I really like where Tony Robbins says that we’re all hypnotized to see beauty this one specific way, and it’s true."― Gwyneth Paltrow "It’s a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I’d be rotten to the core."― Phyllis Diller "I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me. I write a book for no other reason than to add three or four hundred acres to my magnificent estate."― Jack London
