"Great perils have this beauty, that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers." ― Victor Hugo Topic(s): Beauty Tags: beauty, great, perils More From Victor Hugo "Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal." "Religions do a useful thing: they narrow God to the limits of man. Philosophy replies by doing a necessary thing: it elevates man to the plane of God." "When God desires to destroy a thing, he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide." More In Beauty "Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society."― Thomas Paine "Real beauty knocks you a little bit off kilter."― David Byrne "Vampires have always held a very seductive kind of lore and have always been some variety of attractive, whether it’s attractiveness that’s born of just the physical attributes that they have – this kind of ethereal beauty or translucent pallor – or whether it is more to do with the way they carry themselves."― Colin Farrell
