One world, One model

Beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are barely able to endure and are awed
because it serenely disdains to annihilate us. Each single angel is terrifying.
RAINER MARIA RILKE, Duino Elegies

Beauty, n. The power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.
AMBROSE BIERCE, The Devil's Dictionary

Much that is beautiful must be discarded So that we may resemble a taller Impression of ourselves.
JOHN ASHBERY, "Illustration"

The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.
HAVELOCK ELLIS, Impressions and Comments

There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
FRANCIS BACON, Essays

It is foolish to wish for beauty. Sensible people never either desire it for themselves or care about it in others. If the mind be but well cultivated, and the heart well disposed, no one ever cares for the exterior.
ANNE BRONTE, Agnes Grey
