More In Beauty "I was a pretty insecure kid, didn’t have a lot of friends, and was picked on a lot, and music gave me confidence."― Sarah McLachlan "The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express."― Francis Bacon "What is important, then, is not that the critic should possess a correct abstract definition of beauty for the intellect, but a certain kind of temperament, the power of being deeply moved by the presence of beautiful objects."― Walter Pater
