Richard Le Gallienne said this quote

It is curious how, from time immemorial, man seems to have associated the idea of evil with beauty, shrunk from it with a sort of ghostly fear, while, at the same time drawn to it by force of its hypnotic attraction.

~ Richard Le Gallienne

There is something mean in human nature that prefers to think evil, that gives a willing ear and a ready welcome to calumny, a sort of jealousy of goodness and greatness and things of good report.

~ Richard Le Gallienne

The beauty we love is very silent. It smiles softly to itself, but never speaks.

~ Richard Le Gallienne

A wholesome oblivion of one's neighbours is the beginning of wisdom.
