“this woman is a genius in the day time and a beauty at night”

“A genius in the daytime and a beauty at night!”

“Genius lasts longer than beauty”

“I like looking at geniuses and listening to beautiful people.”

“Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.”

“Its a beautiful woman's fate to be the subject of conversation where ever she goes”

“You are more to me than any of them has any idea; you are the atmosphere of beauty through which I see life; you are the incarnation of all lovely things...I think of you day and night. ~ Letter to Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas”
