All BLAISE PASCAL Quotes about “Beauty”

“Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.”
“Beauty is a harmonious relation between something in our nature and the quality of the object which delights us.”
“[On vanity:] The nose of Cleopatra: if it had been shorter, the face of the earth would have changed.”
“As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
“There is a certain standard of grace and beauty which consists in a certain relation between our nature, such as it is, weak or strong, and the thing which pleases us. Whatever is formed according to this standard pleases us, be it house, song, discourse, verse, prose, woman, birds, rivers, trees, room, dress, and so on. Whatever is not made according to this standard displeases those who have good taste.”
