Religion is among the most beautiful and most natural of all things – that religion which ‘sees God in clouds and hears Him in the wind,’ which endows every object of sense with a living soul, which finds in the system of nature whatever is holy, mysterious and venerable, and inspires the bosom with sentiments of awe and veneration. – William Godwin
If you see a whole thing – it seems that it’s always beautiful. Planets, lives… But up close a world’s all dirt and rocks. And day to day, life’s a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. – Ursula K. Le Guin
There are two sides to being pregnant. There is the beautiful, wonderful blessing side. The second side – it sucks! – Tamar Braxton
I think there’s a lot projected on beautiful women, period. At least, maybe this is just my fear, but I do sometimes feel dismissed before I’ve even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic, and I do enjoy a lot of my life. – Shalom Harlow
We are all dreamers creating the next world, the next beautiful world for ourselves and for our children. – Yoko Ono
We’re more into sort of fluid structures that are simultaneously the most efficient, the most beautiful, and the most engineered. You know what I mean? We like the balance you can get in there. – Sean Booth
I could design an $800 shoe line; it’s easy. You use the best materials and you can make beautiful shoes. It’s easier than making great shoes for $90. – Steve Madden
My dream scenario would be that you could go into a bookshop, examine copies of every book in print that they’re able to offer, then for a fee have them produce in a minute or two a beautiful finished copy in a dust jacket that you would pay for and take home. – William Gibson
I think Edith Evans is the most marvelous actress in the world and she can look beautiful. People who aren’t beautiful can look beautiful. She can look as beautiful as Diana Cooper, who was the most beautiful woman in the world. – Vivien Leigh
It’s actually cool to be positive and optimistic and idealistic. It’s cool to see yourself doing beautiful, great things. – Tom DeLonge
I love beautiful black-and-white movies – anything Bette Davis, especially ‘Now’, ‘Voyager’, ‘Casablanca’, ‘Mildred Pierce’; anything by Orson Welles, Truffaut, or Godard; and ‘Paper Moon’ by Peter Bogdanovich. – Suzan-Lori Parks
A beautiful city is Richmond, seated on the hills that overlook the James River. The dwellings have a pleasant appearance, often standing by themselves in the midst of gardens. In front of several, I saw large magnolias, their dark, glazed leaves glittering in the March sunshine. – William Cullen Bryant
I’m lucky to have been raised in the most beautiful place – Amherst, Massachusetts, state of my heart. I’m more patriotic to Massachusetts than to almost any place. – Uma Thurman

Growing up, I wish I hadn’t tried so hard to fit in. I’d tell myself to just embrace what you were born with because it’s beautiful and you were made like that for a reason. It’s tough being a girl. I think we need all of the support we can get. – Shay Mitchell

In my house, when I don’t bring any makeup, when wearing comfortable clothes and when I’m playing with my kids, that’s the moment where I feel the most beautiful. – Thalia
What makes ‘The Wire’ a beautiful story is how true to life it is. In other shows, you have a good guy and a bad guy. In ‘The Wire,’ bad guys are trying to be good, good guys are doing bad. You have real life. The people who do bad get bad things done to them. – Tristan Wilds
I was at our beautiful home in Martha’s Vineyard, near Boston, sitting on the porch looking at the ocean when I got a phone called and was asked, ‘Would I like to do ‘CSI’?’ A week later, I’m at a coroner’s office in Las Vegas, participating in a quadruple autopsy. – Ted Danson
What is extraordinary about contemporary art is the energy – it has our energy. New energy. Pieces hundreds of years old are beautiful from an aesthetic point of view, but without our modern energy. – Victor Pinchuk
I love L.A., but I don’t live there. I spent some time there when I was recording ‘Kaleidoscope,’ mainly working with some of the artists I collaborated with. The city and people in L.A. have a great vibe and the weather is always beautiful. – Tiesto
If I’m at a party, I can put on some crazy dance moves. However, it’s not synchronized, beautiful or choreographed like a ballet dancer. I’d love to be graceful like that. – Sierra McCormick
