Somerset Maugham "Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young." "There are two good things in life – freedom of thought and freedom of action." "It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one’s dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent." More In Beauty "In prison, inmates sometimes use Cheetos and grape juice as makeup. I wouldn’t use that beauty regimen around Britney Spears – she might lick your face off!"― Joel McHale "There will always be a desire for something new, fresh and innovative, as well as a yearning and respect for timeless elegance and beauty."― Helena Christensen "Be not entangled in this world of days and nights; Thou hast another time and space as well."― Muhammad Iqbal
