The first thing he taught me was how to make love.
Before you laugh, know that I'd always hated that phrase. It sounded so corny, so old. Hippies made love. People my mom's age, though I preferred to believe I was an immaculate conception.
People my age hooked up, fucked, had sex. We didn't attach frilly ideas of oneness and eternity to a basic biological act. Most of us were from single-parent homes. Those who weren't wished they were when their parents screamed and beat the shit out of each other. We grew up sexualized, from toddler beauty pageants to the constant reminder that adults were waiting to lure us into vans with candy. The invention of MMS gave us a platform for the distribution of amateur porn.
That's a lot of conditioning to break through. ~ Leah Raeder
Beauty Pageants quotes by Leah Raeder
sometimes a little crazy is all you need ~ Libba Bray
Beauty Pageants quotes by Libba Bray
I entered beauty pageants in much the same spirit most people enter politics - with high ideals and ambitions. Similarly, I had to make some adjustments here and there along the way. ~ Elizabeth Ray
Beauty Pageants quotes by Elizabeth Ray
We're doing it wrong, absolutely wrong! Miss Universe should be about Space Exploration, Miss World about Science and Miss Earth about Going Green! ~ Manasa Rao
Beauty Pageants quotes by Manasa Rao
I would like to show that I have a heart, that I am a human being and I have feelings. And to be this kind of role model, not only for beauty pageants but also for life. ~ Gabriela Isler
Beauty Pageants quotes by Gabriela Isler
The truth isn't meant to be pretty, that's for beauty pageants. ~ Marc Marcel
Beauty Pageants quotes by Marc Marcel
You think this is a walk in the park, that it's all beauty pageants and tea parties? Come on girl, wake up! This is survival at its most intense. ~ RoChe Montoya
Beauty Pageants quotes by RoChe Montoya
He'd been given an assignment to write about teen beauty pageants [ ... ], which he'd accepted because he enjoyed blood sports as much as the next person. ~ David Baldacci
Beauty Pageants quotes by David Baldacci
It had been a long while since I'd watched any television, and things had only gotten weirder. Beauty pageants for infants; ruddy men in trucker caps fighting over abandoned storage lockers; public shamings of compulsive hoarders and pre-diabetics; affluent suburban women made up like transvestite hookers, competing with each other in feats of coarseness and cruelty; barely literate pregnant teens with tattoos, unfocused eyes, and futures like wrecked cars; apoplectic crypto-fascists spitting bile and paranoia; a carnival midway of weight loss devices, hair growth creams, erectile dysfunction potions, and pottery from which herbs grew like green hair. It was like the day room of a surrealist mental hospital, or any big city ER on a summer Saturday night. ~ Peter Spiegelman
Beauty Pageants quotes by Peter Spiegelman
Nope," says Hannah. "I call bullshit. You don't deserve to win anything or be in any pageant until you make the effort and do the work. Maybe fat girls or girls with limps or girls with big teeth don't usually win beauty pageants. Maybe that's not the norm. But the only way to change that is to be present. We can't expect the same things these other girls do until we demand it. Because no one's lining up to give us shit, Will. ~ Julie Murphy
Beauty Pageants quotes by Julie Murphy
I unhooked the partition and pulled it back, revealing the donkey's shaggy coat and pot belly. She wouldn't win any beauty pageants, but she looked to be in fairly good health. I clipped up her lead rope and led her to the top of the ramp where she stopped and looked around, swivelling her huge ears like antennae. Skip and Forbes were in the furthest corner of their paddock, staring in horror at the truck and snorting loudly at each other, clearly not impressed with the newest addition to the family. "What ~ Kate Lattey
Beauty Pageants quotes by Kate Lattey
My grandma loves beauty pageants, like most of Latin American culture, but it's not for me. ~ Stephanie Sigman
Beauty Pageants quotes by Stephanie Sigman
The grass is always greener on the other side. We are busy applying fairness creams while people in the West go bare-bodied on the beach to get a tan. Indian girls have ruled the roost when it comes to beauty pageants. I flaunt my complexion, and I am proud to be noticed as an Indian wherever I go. ~ Shilpa Shetty
Beauty Pageants quotes by Shilpa Shetty
The cardinal rule for hosting the Miss USA and Miss Universe beauty pageants is to expect the unexpected. ~ Bob Barker
Beauty Pageants quotes by Bob Barker
Beauty pageants, you're only judged once. Sorority rush, you have to go through 20 parties. ~ Jen Lancaster
Beauty Pageants quotes by Jen Lancaster
I like the thought that what we are to do on this earth is embellish it for its greater beauty, so that oncoming generations can look back to the shapes we leave here and get the same thrill that I get in looking back at theirs - at the Parthenon, at Chartres Cathedral. ~ Philip Johnson
Beauty Pageants quotes by Philip Johnson
More primordial than any idea, beauty will be manifest as the herald and generator or ideas. ~ Pierre Teilhard De Chardin
Beauty Pageants quotes by Pierre Teilhard De Chardin
A peach, slightly unbalanced, so that it listed to one side, its hue the color of an early sunrise. Had George remembered their conversation at the party and left the peach for her to eat? Strange. For a moment she thought it might be a trompe l'oeil work of art, some fantastic piece of glass. She leaned over and sniffed. The blooming perfume was unmistakable. She touched it with the tip of her finger. The peach was not quite ripe, but it was real.
The next day, she checked the kitchen as soon as she arrived. The peach lay there still, blushing deeper in the window light. She bent to smell, and the perfume was headier then before, a scent of meadows and summers home from school. Still unripe. Was George waiting to eat this beauty? ~ Allegra Goodman
Beauty Pageants quotes by Allegra Goodman
I have made a long enough descent into the void to speak with certainty. There is nothing but beauty
and beauty has only one perfect expression, Poetry. All the rest is a lie. ~ Stephane Mallarme
Beauty Pageants quotes by Stephane Mallarme
But…but that's tragic! To go through life without color? Unable to appreciate art, or beauty?"
He laughed. "Now, sweet-hold your brush before you paint me a martyr's halo. It's not as though I'm blind. I have a great appreciation for art, as I believe we've discussed. And as for beauty…I don't need to know whether your eyes are blue or green or lavender to know that they're uncommonly lovely."
"No one has lavender eyes."
"Don't they?" His gaze caught hers and refused to let go. Leaning forward, he continued, "Did that tutor of yours ever tell you this? That your eyes are ringed with a perfect circle a few shades darker than the rest of the…don't they call it the iris?"
Sophia nodded.
"The iris." He propped his elbow on the table and leaned forward, his gaze searching hers intently. "An apt term it is, too. There are these lighter rays that fan out from the center, like petals. And when your pupils widen-like that, right there-your eyes are like two flowers just coming into bloom. Fresh. Innocent."
She bowed her head, mixing a touch of lead white into the sea-green paint on her palette. He leaned closer still, his voice a hypnotic whisper. "But when you take delight in teasing me, looking up through those thick lashes, so saucy and self-satisfied…" She gave him a sharp look.
He snapped his fingers. "There! Just like that. Oh, sweet-then those eyes are like two opera dancers smiling from behind big, feathered fans. Coy. Beckoning."
Sophia ~ Tessa Dare
Beauty Pageants quotes by Tessa Dare
Stop it! Both of you!" the dragon called out. "I have enough beauty to share with everyone!" Ignoring the beautiful but useless dragon, ~ G.A. Aiken
Beauty Pageants quotes by G.A. Aiken
In the forming of female friendships beauty seldom recommends one woman to another. ~ Henry Fielding
Beauty Pageants quotes by Henry Fielding
The pleasure-house is dust: - behind, before,
This is no common waste, no common gloom;
But Nature, in due course of time, once more
Shall here put on her beauty and her bloom.

She leaves these objects to a slow decay,
That what we are, and have been, may be known;
But at the coming of the milder day,
These monuments shall all be overgrown. ~ William Wordsworth
Beauty Pageants quotes by William Wordsworth
The moon was up now and the trees were dark against it, and he passed the frame houses with their narrow yards, light coming from the shuttered windows; the unpaved alleys, with their double rows of houses; Conch town, where all was starched, well-shuttered, virtue, failure, grit and boiled grunts, under-nourishment, prejudice, righteousness, inter-breeding and the comforts of religion; the open-doored, lighted Cuban boilto houses, shacks whose only romance was their names ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Beauty Pageants quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
Mammoth is an incredible community and world-class attraction, ... Were committed to creating a vibrant living experience that matches the natural, majestic beauty of the area. 80/50 Mammoth will make the new Village at Mammoth one of the hottest year-round playgrounds in North America. For the first time, Mammoth will be a place where outdoor enthusiasts can experience the unparalleled amenities and services of a five-star resort hotel combined with privileges of owning a prestigious second home. ~ Puff Daddy
Beauty Pageants quotes by Puff Daddy
Vulnerability has to happen for love to be real. ~ Pam Godwin
Beauty Pageants quotes by Pam Godwin
They keep asking you to hide, cause it's beautiful outside, they want you to miss that beauty ~ Sami Abouzid
Beauty Pageants quotes by Sami Abouzid
If you will only pause, as you hurry through your days, take a minute to look at passersby, beyond cursory skin-deep analysis, all the way into their eyes, what beauty you might find woven from the life threads there. ~ Ellen Hopkins
Beauty Pageants quotes by Ellen Hopkins
She smiles like a Whatsapp Emoji"
-My Girlfriend ~ Bandile M. Matsenjwa
Beauty Pageants quotes by Bandile M. Matsenjwa
Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress. ~ Milan Kundera
Beauty Pageants quotes by Milan Kundera
Olivia's heart pittered. A blank page. A pen in hand. Was there anything as exciting? The endless possibilities, the potential for beauty, even genius, waiting for that breath of life. ~ Terri-Lynne DeFino
Beauty Pageants quotes by Terri-Lynne DeFino

A great deal has been written about human beauty, and I shan't be saying anything new if I say that beauty often arises or at least gets its acknowledgement from the human spiritual structure. But I would like to talk about a different kind of beauty, a kind that does not necessary depend on that, quite simply because it is so inaccessible as to be unfathomable. The lack of dependence of this kind of beauty defies everything that might tend to cast doubt upon it for any reason whatever, and yet the corporeal in it nevertheless satisfies all or most of our criteria for the recognition of it. As an eternal and incontestable ideal, it is attainable only in a superior and self-sufficient secrecy. Any kind of unconcealed banality would only trouble its glory. ~ Stanka Gjurić
Beauty Pageants quotes by Stanka Gjurić
You can't rely on how you look to sustain you, what sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful is compassion; for yourself and for those around you. ~ Lupita Nyong'o
Beauty Pageants quotes by Lupita Nyong'o
Memories are the precious moments wrapped in delicate ribbon. The ones kept dear are beautifully woven around our heart, the ones that don't hold the beauty of the ribbon, unties itself naturally. ~ Kittie Blessed
Beauty Pageants quotes by Kittie Blessed
It was a vision of the one thing that we both hoped someday would be...the warmth of our bodies next to each other's, reflected in sunset of our secret place... We longed for it to be like this, each and every evening... Dancing in the night, playing hide-and-seek in the day, the beauty of our souls blossoms... Never before had we felt so happy, never before had we felt so alive... We hear the birds, sensing the cheerful breeze, the rainbow's end does linger here....our tenderness, sighs and spirits speak and we do know clear... This place is where love and laughter meet... You take my hand, kiss each finger tip, with tears in your eyes you touch my cheek and whisper of how wondrous this, we share our love once again. The love that gives us wings to fly anew. Our hearts in sweet pleasing pain beat as one in the rhythm of long forgotten yet melody... Together again at this wondrous place, where just our presence adds more grace and makes it what was meant to be - a place for you a place for me... ~ Oksana Rus
Beauty Pageants quotes by Oksana Rus
More and more, we take for granted that work must be destitute of pleasure. More and more, we assume that if we want to be pleased we must wait until evening, or the weekend, or vacation, or retirement. More and more, our farms and forests resemble our factories and offices, which in turn more and more resemble prisons - why else should we be so eager to escape them? We recognize defeated landscapes by the absence of pleasure from them. We are defeated at work because our work gives us no pleasure. We are defeated at home because we have no pleasant work there. We turn to the pleasure industries for relief from our defeat, and are again defeated, for the pleasure industries can thrive and grow only upon our dissatisfaction with them.

Where is our comfort but in the free, uninvolved finally mysterious beauty and grace of this world that we did not make, that has no price? Where is our sanity but there? Where is our pleasure but in working and resting kindly in the presence of this world? ~ Wendell Berry
Beauty Pageants quotes by Wendell Berry
He was a giant who had caught a butterfly and knew he'd only kill it if he kept it but was so reluctant to let it go for its beauty made him something he wouldn't be without it: happy. ~ Carrie Hope Fletcher
Beauty Pageants quotes by Carrie Hope Fletcher
She dances,
She dances around the burning flames with passion,
Under the same dull stars,
Under the same hell with crimson embers crashing,
Under the same silver chains that wires,
All her beauty and who she is inside,
She's left with the loneliness of human existence,
She's left questioning how she's survived,
She's left with this awakening of brutal resilience,
Her true beauty that she denies,
As much she's like to deny it,
As much as it continues to shine,
That she doesn't even have to admit,
Because we all know it's true,
Her glory and success,
After all she's been through,
Her triumph and madness,
AND YET,
SHE STANDS.

Broken legs- but she's still standing,
Still dancing in this void,
You must wonder how she's still dancing,
You must wonder how she's not destroyed,
She doesn't even begin to drown within the flames,
But little do you realize,
Within these chains,
She weeps and she cries,
But she still goes on,
And just you thought you could stop her?
You thought you'd be the one?
Well, let me tell you, because you thought wrong.
Nothing will ever silence her,
Because I KNOW,
I know that she is admiringly strong,
Her undeniable beauty,
The triumph of her song,
She's shining bright like a ruby,
Reflecting in the golden sand,
She's shining brighter like no other,
She's far more ~ Gabrielle Renee
Beauty Pageants quotes by Gabrielle Renee
The grey paintings, for example, a painted grey surface, completely monochromatic - they come from a motivation, or result from a state, that was very negative. It has a lot to do with hopelessness, depression and such things. But it has to be turned on its head in the end, and has to come to a form where these paintings possess beauty. And in this case, it's not a carefree beauty, but rather a serious one. ~ Gerhard Richter
Beauty Pageants quotes by Gerhard Richter
I almost hate to say this, but I am the happiest I have ever been in my life," she told me. "Sometimes it takes going through something so awful to realize the beauty that is out there in this world." Brain ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Beauty Pageants quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
He, the man, had seen her, touched her, and had not validated her beauty, her womanliness. He had turned away and gone to his own bed. Like Eve after the fall, her nakedness was obscene to her now. ~ Naomi Ragen
Beauty Pageants quotes by Naomi Ragen
When a photographer or a person sees your beauty, your inner beauty, it makes you feel special like, "Wow, someone saw that within me." ~ Jamel Shabazz
Beauty Pageants quotes by Jamel Shabazz
Intellectual freedom begins when one says with Socrates that he knows that he knows nothing, and then goes on to add: Do you know what you don't know and therefore what you should know? If your answer is affirmative and humble, then you are your own teacher, you are making your own assignment, and you will be your own best critic. You will not need externally imposed courses, nor marks, nor diplomas, nor a nod from your boss ... in business or in politics. (from the essay The Last Don Rag) ~ Scott M. Buchanan
Beauty Pageants quotes by Scott M. Buchanan
Beauty is only skin-deep, and ugly goes straight to the bone. ~ Christina Lauren
Beauty Pageants quotes by Christina Lauren
Heaven is spectacular, some would say paradise. A magnificent city surrounded by walls of gold and rainbow paths all dazzling in Gods light. There is no fear in Heaven, nor is there pain, and most really have found serenity there ~ Stacey Field
Beauty Pageants quotes by Stacey Field
I was greedy, she warned, and could not fill my heart with enough pleasure, my stomach with enough contentment, my body with enough sleep. I was like a rice basket with a rat hole at the bottom, and thus could not be satisfied and overflow, nor could I be filled. I would never know the full depth and breadth of love, beauty, or happiness. She said it like a curse. ~ Amy Tan
Beauty Pageants quotes by Amy Tan
Beauty isn't between a size zero and a size eight, it is not a number at all. It is not physical. ~ Ellen DeGeneres
Beauty Pageants quotes by Ellen DeGeneres
When Emerson's library was burning at Concord, I went to him as he stood with the firelight on his strong, sweet face, and endeavored to express my sympathy for the loss of his most valued possessions, but he answered cheerily, 'Never mind, Louisa, see what a beautiful blaze they make! We will enjoy that now.' The lesson was one never forgotten and in the varied lessons that have come to me I have learned to look for something beautiful and bright. ~ Louisa May Alcott
Beauty Pageants quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Brown people and black people and red people swarmed through our great halls, until those who were white looked simply faded-out human beings beside them. Indeed, I came to see that white is not a color in skin any more than in textiles, and if it had not quality, it had no value even for humanity. I saw that color in skin had a certain advantage in strength and warmth as a means of beauty. ~ Candace Wheeler
Beauty Pageants quotes by Candace Wheeler
I am delighted to experience the beauty of life. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Beauty Pageants quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Kisses, even to the air, are beautiful. ~ Drew Barrymore
Beauty Pageants quotes by Drew Barrymore
The beauty of this country and what people participate in is the competitive nature that we allow to exist and the fact is that we are better because we have great competitors. ~ Lee Scott
Beauty Pageants quotes by Lee Scott
The ever-present phenomenon ceases to exist for our senses. It was a city dweller, or a prisoner, or a blind man suddenly given his sight, who first noted natural beauty. ~ Remy De Gourmont
Beauty Pageants quotes by Remy De Gourmont
Love sparkles and shines out from those giving and receiving it. It can be seen and felt. Love causes flowers to bloom providing beauty. It causes hearts to bloom, providing the beauty that is instilled within me and you. ~ Janet G. Nestor
Beauty Pageants quotes by Janet G. Nestor
The beauty Snow White's got has nothing to do with him. She's scarred up and suspicious and shameless. Her pretty's not for him. It's like saying the moon's got a fine figure on her. Maybe true, but what good is that to a man? Snow ~ Catherynne M Valente
Beauty Pageants quotes by Catherynne M Valente
Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don't recognize our own beauty because we're too busy comparing ourselves to other people. ~ Kelly Osbourne
Beauty Pageants quotes by Kelly Osbourne
Failing to recognize the worth of beauty independent from utilitarian function is symptomatic of an abject poverty of the soul. It's like saying that if we turned St. Peter's Basilica into a parking garage, we would improve it by making it practical. There's a word for this, and it is vandalism. We must not vandalize the faith in the name of pragmatism! ~ Brian Zahnd
Beauty Pageants quotes by Brian Zahnd
Beauty is highly desirable but simplicity and usefulness are the overwhelming fashion of our age. Just because it's beautiful does not mean it's useful. ~ Gerry McGovern
Beauty Pageants quotes by Gerry McGovern
It may be
I hope it is
redemption to guess and perhaps perceive that the universe, the hell which we see for all its beauty, vastness, majesty, is only part of a whole which is quite unimaginable. ~ William Golding
Beauty Pageants quotes by William Golding
You collect art: you must know that the miniature artists, at the end of careers spent painting the tiniest, most exacting details that no one would ever look at, would often put their eyes out with needles. Too much beauty, yes, but also too much seeing. They were tired of seeing. The dark was safe and warm and comfortable. Blindness was a gift. I still have seeing to do. ~ Ian McDonald
Beauty Pageants quotes by Ian McDonald
I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people. ~ Mikhail Baryshnikov
Beauty Pageants quotes by Mikhail Baryshnikov
No longer conscious of my movement, I discovered a new unity with nature. I had found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never dreamt existed. ~ Roger Bannister
Beauty Pageants quotes by Roger Bannister
We note the increasing coarseness of language and understand how Lot must have felt when he was, according to Peter, "vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked." (2 Peter2:7.) We wonder why those of coarse and profane conversation, even if they refuse obedience to God's will, are so stunted mentally that they let their capacity to communicate grow more and more narrow. Language is like music; we rejoice in beauty, range, and quality in both, and we are demeaned by the repetition of a few sour notes. ~ Spencer W. Kimball
Beauty Pageants quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
The Beautiful Path is not a place outside of yourself, but rather a place you carry within you everywhere you go. ~ Bryant McGill
Beauty Pageants quotes by Bryant McGill
