Sometimes, beauty and sadness went hand in hand. ~ Annette Marie
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Annette Marie
Truth is like beauty; it lies in the mind of the beholder ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
It must be hard when you are a beautiful woman and no one will look at your soul ... ~ John Geddes
Beauty And Sadness quotes by John Geddes
Their wedding night was in all truth a thing of beauty: the splendor of the celebrations, the hushed intimacy of a private walk under the cryptic light of a large moon, the unexpected delight discovered in the reflection of a candle's flicker in a decanter of aged wine, finally the silent weeping in each other's arms through a night that seemed infinite in its innumerable dimensions. ~ Robert Coover
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Robert Coover
Beauty and sadness always go together. ~ George MacDonald
Beauty And Sadness quotes by George MacDonald
The Folk love nothing more than mortal beauty. ~ Cassandra Clare
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Cassandra Clare
Allow beauty and sadness to touch you. This is love, not fear. ~ Colleen Saidman
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Colleen Saidman
When a breeze blew, petals rained down on my upturned face, and I stopped and gasped, stunned by the beauty and sadness. ~ Ruth Ozeki
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Ruth Ozeki
You don't need another Human Being to make your life complete, but let's be honest. Having your wounds kissed by someone who doesn't see them as disasters In your soul, but cracks to put their love into, Is the most calming thing In this World. ~ Emery Allen
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Emery Allen
I really love that dynamic between beauty and sadness ... theres always these moments of quiet alienation, the sense of disconnect, but also, these moments of possibility. ~ Gregory Crewdson
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Gregory Crewdson
Lord, catch me off guard today. Surprise me with some moment of beauty or pain so that at least for the moment, I may be startled into seeing that you are here in all your splendor, always and everywhere, barely hidden, beneath, beyond, within this life I breathe. ~ Frederick Buechner
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Frederick Buechner
Like Buddha under the Bo tree, Jesus, on his tree, has his eyes closed too. The difference is this. The pain and sadness of the world that Buddha's eyes close out is the pain and sadness of the world that the eyes of Jesus close in. ~ Frederick Buechner
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Frederick Buechner
I would think of it with affection because of its scenes of fragmentary beauty, because it brought men closer together through their perversity and fear, because it enabled us to pretend that death could be a tender experience, and because it breached the long silence. ~ Don DeLillo
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Don DeLillo
I have become convinced, through my studies, that the only way to achieve a safe, just and viable world is to live by the Golden Rule. This is what drives my writing. I want to point out this interconnectedness, point out the beauty of the faith in all traditions without exception, show the complexity of the atrocities that we have experienced, and our shared culpability as a species. ~ Karen Armstrong
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Karen Armstrong
Before his and Pushkin's advent Russian literature was purblind. What form it perceived was an outline directed by reason: it did not see color for itself but merely used the hackneyed combinations of blind noun and dog-like adjective that Europe had inherited from the ancients. The sky was blue, the dawn red, the foliage green, the eyes of beauty black, the clouds grey, and so on. It was Gogol (and after him Lermontov and Tolstoy) who first saw yellow and violet at all. That the sky could be pale green at sunrise, or the snow a rich blue on a cloudless day, would have sounded like heretical nonsense to your so-called "classical" writer, accustomed as he was to the rigid conventional color-schemes of the Eighteenth Century French school of literature. Thus the development of the art of description throughout the centuries may be profitably treated in terms of vision, the faceted eye becoming a unified and prodigiously complex organ and the dead dim "accepted colors" (in the sense of "idées reçues") yielding gradually their subtle shades and allowing new wonders of application. I doubt whether any writer, and certainly not in Russia, had ever noticed before, to give the most striking instance, the moving pattern of light and shade on the ground under trees or the tricks of color played by sunlight with leaves. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
Happiness is only available with total acceptance of who you are, including all your fears, worries, and anxiety. It will be there for you when you can see your own inner beauty. You cannot achieve happiness without using your past, your flaws, insecurities, and imperfections in a positive way. It is about letting go and detaching from unhealthy people, ideas, and lifestyle choices, and replacing them with interdependent, pro-active ways of thinking and responding. ~ Lucinda Bassett
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Lucinda Bassett
Be helpless, dumbfounded,
Unable to say yes or no.
Then a stretcher will come from grace
to gather us up.
We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty.
If we say we can, we're lying.
If we say No, we don't see it,
That No will behead us
And shut tight our window onto spirit.
So let us rather not be sure of anything,
Beside ourselves, and only that, so
Miraculous beings come running to help.
Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
We shall be saying finally,
With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.
When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
We shall be a mighty kindness. ~ Rumi
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Rumi
And I wondered then, how do we ever know what beauty lies inside of people, and the strange ways this world works to lure that beauty outward? ~ Douglas Coupland
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Douglas Coupland
It is the branch that bears the fruit, That feels the knife, To prune it for a larger growth, A fuller life. Though every budding twig be trimmed, And every grace Of swaying tendril, springing leaf, May lose its place. O you whose life of joy seems left, With beauty shorn; Whose aspirations lie in dust, All bruised and torn, Rejoice, though each desire, each dream, Each hope of thine Will fall and fade; it is the hand Of Love Divine That holds the knife, that cuts and breaks With tenderest touch, That you, whose life has borne some fruit, Might now bear much. Annie Johnson Flint ~ Lettie B. Cowman
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Lettie B. Cowman
Joy, anger, sadness, pleasure, love, evil, greed. Where is your heart at? This world is like a furnace you temper yourself, and your character. This is the same for everyone. ~ Da Xia
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Da Xia
THE BEAUTY OF GOD. Is there certain music that gives you deep joy? Is there a view or landscape that does the same? If someone says, "What is the use of that?" you answer that the music or landscape is not a means to some other end but profoundly satisfying in itself. David's supreme priority is "to gaze on the beauty of the Lord" (verse 4). "Gazing" is not a one-time glimpse but a steady, sustained focus. It is not petitionary prayer but praising, admiring, and enjoying God just for who he is. David finds God beautiful, not just useful for attaining goods. To sense God's beauty in the heart is to have such pleasure in him that you rest content. Prayer: ~ Timothy Keller
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Timothy Keller
I think that every film should have its own structure, and that's the beauty of film language - is that we get to express that deeply individualistic side of ourselves. ~ Brian Lindstrom
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Brian Lindstrom
In gardens, beauty is a by-product. The main business is sex and death. ~ Sam Llewellyn
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Sam Llewellyn
Space and scarcity give us dignity. And liberty. And thereby beauty. ~ Edward Abbey
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Edward Abbey
Despair was strength. Despair was the scab and the scar. The walled city in a time of plague. A closed fortification. A sure thing, because it was always safer, less painful to stop trying than it was to repeatedly try and fail. Failure-disappointment-was a poison in my blood. Despair was the antidote. ~ Norah Vincent
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Norah Vincent
Wild rose-bush, covered, in this month of June, with its delicate gems, which might be imagined to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom, in token that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him. ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Nathaniel Hawthorne
When it warms your heart, make you smile, and stare a little longer. It's called beauty and it sure is beautiful. ~ A Queen Of Beauty
Beauty And Sadness quotes by A Queen Of Beauty
There is an inner working of intelligence behind the movement of energy in the world. This natural or organic intelligence is conscious and sure in its plan and method, not by choice or intention but intuitively and spontaneously, as a movement of pure beauty and harmony. ~ David Frawley
Beauty And Sadness quotes by David Frawley
A rural Venus, Selah rises from the
gold foliage of the Sixhiboux River, sweeps
petals of water from her skin. At once,
clouds begin to sob for such beauty.
Clothing drops like leaves.
"No one makes poetry,my Mme.
Butterfly, my Carmen, in Whylah,"
I whisper. She smiles: "We'll shape it with
our souls."
Desire illuminates the dark manuscript
of our skin with beetles and butterflies.
After the lightning and rain has ceased,
after the lightning and rain of lovemaking
has ceased, Selah will dive again into the
sunflower-open river. ~ George Elliott Clarke
Beauty And Sadness quotes by George Elliott Clarke
I sit in my garden, gazing upon a beauty that cannot gaze upon itself. And I find sufficient purpose for my day. ~ Robert Breault
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Robert Breault
Silence is difficult and arduous, it is not to be played with. It isn't something that you can experience by reading a book, or by listening to a talk, or by sitting together, or by retiring into a wood or a monastery. I am afraid none of these things will bring about this silence. This silence demands intense psychological work. You have to be burningly aware of your snobbishness, aware of your fears, your anxieties, your sense of guilt. And when you die to all that, then out of that dying comes the beauty of silence. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
For beauty was her accident, and while admirable, was not a determining factor. ~ Algernon Blackwood
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Algernon Blackwood
The edge of something mostly buried in the sand caught the sun, and I bent to pick up a pearl nautilus. Simple and uncomplicatedly lovely, a pearl nautilus whispered its beauty. It wasn't showy like a cameo or frog shell, with their twists and nubs and variations. It never competed for attention, but it held and reflected a prism of light that perfectly complimented its surroundings. Someone else may have overlooked a pearl nautilus, but I preferred it. - Nicole Abbot (Whisper of Light) ~ Jennifer DeLucy
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Jennifer DeLucy
Creation, in all its splendor and misery, in all the beauty and ugliness of its myriad forms, is how God manifests His presence in time. Creation is God in time. ~ Marcelo Gleiser
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Marcelo Gleiser
The crickets felt it was their duty to warn everybody that summertime cannot last for ever. Even on the most beautiful days in the whole year - the days when summer is changing into autumn - the crickets spread the rumour of sadness and change. ~ E.B. White
Beauty And Sadness quotes by E.B. White
The human heart yearns for the beautiful in all ranks of life. The beautiful things that God makes are His gift to all alike. I know there are many of the poor who have fine feeling and a keen sense of the beautiful, which rusts out and dies because they are too hard pressed to procure it any gratification. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Is that what makes me sad? The eagerness and belief that filled me then and exacted a pledge from life that life could never fulfill? ~ Bernhard Schlink
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Bernhard Schlink
Who am I? They often tell me I would step from my cell's confinement calmly, cheerfully, firmly, like a squire from his country-house.

Who am I? They often tell me I would talk to my warden freely and friendly and clearly, as though it were mine to command.

Who am I? They also tell me I would bear the days of misfortune equably, smilingly, proudly, like one accustomed to win.

Am I then really all that which other men tell of, or am I only what I know of myself, restless and longing and sick, like a bird in a cage, struggling for breath, as though hands were compressing my throat, yearning for colors, for flowers, for the voices of birds, thirsting for words of kindness, for neighborliness, trembling with anger at despotisms and petty humiliation, tossing in expectation of great events, powerlessly trembling for friends at an infinite distance, weary and empty at praying, at thinking, at making, faint and ready to say farewell to it all.

Who am I? This or the other? Am I one person today, and tomorrow another? Am I both at once? A hypocrite before others, and before myself a contemptibly woebegone weakling? Or is something within me still like a beaten army, fleeing in disorder from victory already achieved?

Who am I? They mock me, these lonely questions of mine.

Whoever I am, Thou knowest, O God, I am thine! ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The slow arrow of beauty. The most noble kind of beauty is that which does not carry us away suddenly, whose attacks are not violent or intoxicating (this kind easily awakens disgust), but rather the kind of beauty which infiltrates slowly, which we carry along with us almost unnoticed, and meet up with again in dreams; finally, after it has for a long time lain modestly in our heart, it takes complete possession of us, filling our eyes with tears, our hearts with longing. What do we long for when we see beauty? To be beautiful. We think much happiness must be connected with it. But that is an error. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Grief was beginning to be overlaid by the first layer of skin and time. Jordan supposed that layer would get thicker and thicker and in a way she was sorry. Grief cut, but it also made you remember. (78%) ~ Kate Quinn
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Kate Quinn
A poetess who had died young of cancer had said in one of her poems that for her, on sleepless nights, 'the night offers toads and black dogs and corpses of the drowned. ~ Yasunari Kawabata
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Yasunari Kawabata
And then his throat closed. For it was there. He had wanted it to be there, but now that he saw it, he was overcome with sadness. ~ Natalie Babbitt
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Natalie Babbitt
We celebrate beauty in life and all its possibility so we open it up for others and at the same time for ourselves. ~ Jay Woodman
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Jay Woodman
There is no reason why you should be bored when you can be otherwise. But if you find yourself sitting in the hedgerow with nothing but weeds, there is no reason for shutting your eyes and seeing nothing, instead of finding what beauty you may in the weeds. To put it cynically, life is too short to waste it in drawing blanks. Therefore, it is up to you to find as many pictures to put on your blank pages as possible. ~ Emily Post
Beauty And Sadness quotes by Emily Post
What pleasure in this life remains unmarked by sorrow? What glory can endure upon this earth unchanged? All is feebler than a shadow, more deceptive than a dream; for death in a single moment takes all things away. But in the light of Thy countenance, O Christ, and in the joy of Thy beauty, give rest to those whom Thou hast chosen, for Thou lovest mankind... ~ St John Damascus
