Quote by Soman Chainani

“What did you think of Beatrix the first time you saw her?" Agatha stared at the candy plum in her teacher's hand. "Agatha?" "I don't know. She was beautiful, " Agatha groused, remembering their fart-filled introduction. "And now?" "She's revolting." "Has she gotten less pretty?" "No, but-" "So is she beautiful or not?" "Yes, at first sight-" "So beauty only lasts a glance?" "Not if you're a good person-" "So it's being good that matters? I thought you said it was looks. " Agatha opened her mouth. Nothing came out. "Beauty can only fight truth for so long, Agatha. You and Beatrix share more in common than you think.”

“But your mother used to have a saying: "Pretty is pretty for a little while, but true beauty is beautiful forever." Ella pursed her lips. "How do you know if you're pretty or if you're beautiful?"

“He was gleamingly, smolderingly beautiful, like a pure medieval knight or a young King Arthur stepping off the pages of a painting. Though it was always Lancelot who was shown with fair hair like Linden's, those long strands of dark gold and amber softening the hard planes of his warrior-strong face. Did Lancelot have a mouth like Linden's? Full and strong and sensual? Suggesting unspeakable delights if one could only unlock the man who possessed it? Was it a mouth like this which undid Guinevere?”

“He can remind himself that all beauty in plants and animals is a quiet and durable form of love and longing, and he can see the animal, as also the plant, patiently and willingly joining and multiplying and growing, not from physical pleasure, not from physical suffering, but bowing to necessities which are greater than pleasure and pain and more powerful than desire and resistance. Oh if only mankind could embrace this mystery, which penetrates the earth right into its smallest elements, with more humility, and bear and sustain it with more gravity and know how terribly heavy it is, instead of taking it lightly.”

“Gracie's first thought was that it was unfair a man should have such a sinfully beautiful mouth. Her next was that it was made for seduction and unspeakable delights. And her third was that it was made for despair—for despair was what she could not help but feel as she stared at this young man, who seemed a strange and uncanny reflection of herself. Not only a more perfect specimen of manhood than she could ever pretend to be in her feigned garb, but a man who reflected her very soul back to her without even seeming to realize it, more herself than she was, yet in the way that fire complimented frost, or the ocean reflected the stars.”
