“Beauty itself doth of itself persuadeThe eyes of men without orator.”
“But it is not only the difficulty and labor which men take in finding out of truth, nor again that when it is found it imposeth upon men's thoughts, that doth bring lies in favor; but a natural though corrupt love of the lie itself.”
“Moderation sees itself as beautiful; it is unaware that in the eye of the immoderate it appears black and sober and consequently ugly-looking”
“Beauty brings copies of itself into being.”
“The absence of a flaw in beauty is itself a flaw. ”
“It was a silence that heard itself, awful and beautiful.”
