Vance has a genius in evoking the beauty of strangeness, the strangeness of beauty.

Jack Vance

I think the media in America have been absolutely fantastic about the rise of Trump, they've kept a firm eye on the ball: this constitutes democracy, this constitutes transparency, this constitutes fairness, this constitutes the way to behave in a civic society, this constitutes fascism, this constitutes authoritarianism. They're drawing that line, and they're calling him out every time. That's really what needs to happen, and you just have to do that.

Irvine Welsh

Yoga means addition - addition of energy, strength and beauty to body, mind and soul.

Amit Ray

I don't like standard beauty - there is no beauty without strangeness.

Karl Lagerfeld

Technique does not constitute art. Nor is it a vague, fuzzy romantic quality known as ‘beauty,’ remote from the realities of everyday life. It is the depth and intensity of an artist’s experience that are the first importance in art.

Grant Wood

Since art is the expression of beauty and beauty can be understood only in the form of the material elements of the true idea it contains, art has become almost uniquely feminine. Beauty is woman, and also art is woman.

Remy de Gourmont

Color contributes to beauty, but it is not beauty. Color should have a minor part in the consideration of beauty, because it is not color but the structure that constitutes its essence.

Johann Joachim Winckelmann

There is no beauty without some strangeness

Edgar Allan Poe

Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty.

Charles Baudelaire

Strangeness is the indispensable condiment of all beauty.

Charles Baudelaire

Strangeness is an ingredient necessary in beauty.

Charles Baudelaire

The refining influence is the study of art, which is the science of beauty; and I find that every man values every scrap of knowledge in art, every observation of his own in it, every hint he has caught from another. For the laws of beauty are the beauty of beauty, and give the mind the same or a higher joy than the sight of it gives the senses. The study of art is of high value to the growth of the intellect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.

Francis Bacon

Photography is the recording of strangeness and beauty with beguiling precision.

Sebastian Smee

Living through art is a better way to live - not necessarily making art, but being surrounded by art. I think it's just as banal as trying to show my version of the beauty in the world. It's about beauty at the end of the day.
