Ugliness has its own splendor when it houses a soul of beauty. — © James L. Farmer, Jr.
Ugliness has its own splendor when it houses a soul of beauty.
The great crime which the moneyed classes and promoters of industry committed in the palmy Victorian days was the condemning of the workers to ugliness, ugliness, ugliness: meanness and formless and ugly surroundings, ugly ideals, ugly religion, ugly hope, ugly love, ugly clothes, ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly relationship between workers and employers. The human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.
The ugliness of the beauty is much horrible than the ugliness of the ugliness.
Ugliness is more inventive than beauty. Beauty always follows certain camps. I think it's more amusing - ugliness - than beauty.
The splendor of a soul in grace is so seductive that it surpasses the beauty of all created things.
Since hearing beauty in something is essentially a positive response and hearing ugliness is negative, might it ultimately be more difficult for an open-minded listener to define ugliness than it is to define beauty?
I prefer ugliness to beauty, because ugliness endures.
Make sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul
Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order.
People should not be responding to bigoted ugliness with any ugliness of their own.
A new beauty has been added to the splendor of the world - the beauty of speed.
What distressed me most - more even than my own folly - was the perplexing question, How can beauty and ugliness dwell so near?
Happiness does away with ugliness, and even makes the beauty of beauty.
It is because every one tinder Heaven recognizes beauty as beauty that the idea of ugliness exists.
Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
As I experience it, appreciation of beauty is access to the soul. With beauty in our lives, we walk and carry ourselves more lightly and with a different look in our eyes. To look into the eyes of someone beholding beauty is to look through the windows of the soul. Anytime we catch a glimpse of soul, beauty is there; anytime we catch our breath and feel "How beautiful!," the soul is present.
