The English may love gardening and fishing, but they have never struck me as being close to nature. Their way of expression is 'the hollyhocks are awfully good' sort of thing, all done in very good taste. The savagery of nature is something they don't dwell upon.
~ Denholm Elliott
My hobby is gardening, I love it, it's my main hobby. I like being at home and I'm very happy being in my house, I love cooking.
~ Susan Hampshire
My hobbies are cooking and gardening, especially growing orchids. I love soccer, my husband and I support a British team called Chelsea, and I also enjoy tennis. We have 3 cats.
~ Juliet Mills
Living in New York after 14 years, I'm such an outdoors kind of person. I love gardening and building things. I like restoring old furniture.
~ Paige Butcher
We don't need bigger cars or fancier clothes. We need self-respect, identity, community, love, variety, beauty, challenge and a purpose in living that is greater than material accumulation.
~ Donella Meadows
Let me tell you something - being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.
~ Halle Berry
When we recognise the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection, love is born.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
If in my youth I had realized that the sustaining splendour of beauty of with which I was in love would one day flood back into my heart, there to ignite a flame that would torture me without end, how gladly would I have put out the light in my eyes.
~ Michelangelo
Have you not noticed that love is silence? It may be while holding the hand of another, or looking lovingly at a child, or taking in the beauty of an evening. Love has no past or future, and so it is with this extraordinary state of silence.
~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it.
~ Donald Knuth
To love beauty is to see light.
~ Victor Hugo
Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.
~ John Donne
If I weren't performing, I'd be a beauty editor or a therapist. I love creativity, but I also love to help others. My mother was a hairstylist, and they listen to everyone's problems - like a beauty therapist!
~ Beyoncé Knowles
It is still breathtaking to me to watch people bring love, preciousness and kindness to their inner world, allowing the light of God to shine through their eyes so that the beauty of their soul can come forth.
~ Debbie Ford
My definition of love is being full. Complete. It makes everything lighter. Beauty is something you see. Love is something you feel.
~ Sharon Tate
What is man's ultimate direction in life? It is to look for love, truth, virtue, and beauty.
~ Shinichi Suzuki
I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair.
~ Dita Von Teese
Things are beautiful if you love them.
~ Jean Anouilh
I don't love Photoshop; I like imperfection. It doesn't mean ugly. I love a girl with a gap between her teeth, versus perfect white veneers. Perfection is just... boring. Perfect is what's natural or real; that is beauty.
~ Marc Jacobs
I'm in love with beauty and things and people and love and being in love, and those things, I think, on the inside, show on the outside.
~ Gloria Vanderbilt
Ever since studying in Russia as a college student, I had been in a long-distance, one-sided love affair with Chechnya's remarkable history, culture and rugged natural beauty.
~ Anthony Marra
The beauty we love is very silent. It smiles softly to itself, but never speaks.
~ Richard Le Gallienne
Everyone has a different beauty and different qualities and I think that women need to learn to love their qualities and be comfortable in the fact that everyone is different.
~ Miranda Kerr
Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.
~ Pablo Picasso
I love my beauty. It's not my fault.
~ Valentino Garavani
When it comes to beauty, I feel that hanging with people you love, laughing, and doing silly things gets your spirits up. We are always prettier when we are happier.
~ Sara Sampaio
I never in a million years thought I would be the person to go to for self-esteem; that was not my intent. But I happen to love beauty, I love the way people look, and I love making women look beautiful.
~ Bobbi Brown
I do take very good care of myself, and I'm always in love. And by that I mean I have an appetite for life. I'm in love with beauty and things and people and love and being in love, and those things I think, on the inside, show on the outside.
Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
~ John Keats
I believe love at first sight is possible. Centuries of literature and art and beauty has been dedicated to that idea, so who am I to argue, even if I've never experienced it?
~ Maggie Grace
During the 'ballad' years for me, the politics was latent; I was just falling in love with the ballads and my boyfriend. And there was the beauty of the songs.
~ Joan Baez
I love the fact that we are surrounded by this spectacular natural beauty that routinely strikes us dead. Hikers walk off into the woods and are never seen again. And still we tug on our fleece and skip off into the wilderness, not a care in the world.
~ Chelsea Cain
It's good to have a reminder that we can love ourselves and be beautiful even though we don't really fit into certain standards of what beauty may be.
~ Alessia Cara
Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon.
~ André Gide
I am a great lover of art, in many forms: paintings, objets, textiles. I don't have the talent for painting, but I have a very good sense of colour, a love of visual beauty.
~ Jacqueline Bisset
As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.
~ Annie Dillard
I hate the term 'arm candy.' But, look, a woman's figure is a beautiful thing, and if she has shapely legs, then she should show them off, because men love to see that. Not just heterosexual men - gay men like to see a woman in her beauty and the shape of her.
~ Bruce Forsyth
If you've never had a mother or a father, you grow up seeking something you're never going to find, ever. You seek it in love and in people and in beauty.
I love fashion, beauty, glamour. It's the mark of civilisation.
~ David Lachapelle
One of the most beautiful passages of Rousseau is that in the sixth book of Confessions, where he describes the awakening in him of the literary sense. Of such wisdom, the poetic passion, the desire of beauty, the love of art for its own sake, has most.
~ Walter Pater
