Beauty, Antoine de Saint-Exupery

You are beautiful, but you are empty. One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you--the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered.

- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944), The Little Prince

The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her, if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain.

― Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), The Importance of Being Earnest

Beauty, Cynthia Hand

― Cynthia Hand, Hallowed

Beauty, Albert Camus

At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.

― Albert Camus (1913-1960)
