Beauty, of course, is an asset. But the girls who have greenbacks don't have to worry over not having pink faces.
ROBERT ELLIOTT GONZALES, Poems and Paragraphs
A lump rises in our throat at the sight of beauty from an implicit knowledge that the happiness it hints at is the exception.
ALAIN DE BOTTON, The Architecture of Happiness
The pageant of a former hour,
Is Beauty in the Grave.
WILLIAM B. TAPPAN, "Beauty in the Grave"
What can still that hunger of the heart which sickens the eye for beauty, and makes sweet-scented ease an oppression?
GEORGE ELIOT, Daniel Deronda
