To me, part of the beauty of a comma is that it offers a rest, like one in music: a break that gives the whole piece of music greater shape, deeper harmony. It allows us to catch our breath.

Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age - as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.
— Phyllis Diller
I'm obsessed with the Fenty beauty line. It's like, finally, women of color get good makeup.
— Phoebe Robinson
Beauty, to me, is not a physical thing. It's a feeling.
— Philomena Kwao
We have spent so many years looking at images of another beauty ideal and so many years taking in magazine covers and films that represent a beauty standard that we'll never meet. People don't realize that there are makeup artists and hairstylists behind the scenes - even in something as simple as a 'candid' Instagram photo.
My best advice is to celebrate your own unique features and never put them down. There is beauty in individuality, and it's so important to appreciate everything your body allows you to do. It's OK to have a down day - we all do from time to time - but it's not OK to compare yourself to others.
There is beauty everywhere. But if I had to narrow it down, I absolutely adore Beyonce. She's the ultimate icon for me. I also love Naomi CampbelI, Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls, Daria Werbowy, and Genevieve Nnaji.
In Ghana, most of the women I know do not identify as sexy, and the reason may be cultural. With imported beauty standards from the West, it seems that many African women feel they need to be fair and slim to be beautiful.
The first time I ever had the opportunity to dive on the Great Barrier Reef, it was while filming 'Oceans Deadliest' with Steve Irwin. I remember just how awestruck I was by its beauty.
— Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
Literature isn't a moral beauty contest. Its power arises from the authority and audacity with which the impersonation is pulled off; the belief it inspires is what counts.
— Philip Roth
That's the beauty of the animation process: It takes so long, you have so many chances to improve it.
— Phil Lord
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
— Petrarch
I think the chance of finding beauty is higher if you don't work on it directly. Beauty in architecture is driven by practicality. This is what you learn from studying the old townscapes of the Swiss farmers.
— Peter Zumthor
The real beauty in my professional experience has been friendships and collaborations with filmmakers.
— Peter Morgan
Perfect health, like perfect beauty, is a rare thing; and so, it seems, is perfect disease.
— Peter Latham
There are many kinds of truth. But truth communicated by beauty is the only pure one. The only one that touches me in the heart.
— Peter Handke
The Sanctuary at Two Rivers offers a much needed escape or retreat from the fast paced, modern lifestyle we have all become accustomed to, with its exquisite beauty, serenity, and raw nature. Costa Rica was the perfect place for developing such an important project.
— Perrey Reeves
In many a piece of music, it's the pause or the rest that gives the piece its beauty and its shape. And I know I, as a writer, will often try to include a lot of empty space on the page so that the reader can complete my thoughts and sentences and so that her imagination has room to breathe.
Natural beauty products are a must! I use coconut oil-based RMS makeup, and I slather almond oil on my hands to soak while I watch a movie.
— Phoebe Tonkin
The older I get, and the more collections I do, the more I'm driven by real style and beauty. My aim is to reveal and not to display women.
— Phoebe Philo
I've inherited so much culture, beauty, and love, and I'm the perfect mix of Philomena.
The curvy community has really given me a voice because people want to see someone who looks like they do. They want to know their beauty is valid.
When I started, there was only one other girl that I could name that was even close to my shade. I didn't understand why there weren't more black plus-size models with darker skin tones. It feels like the final frontier of beauty is to be black, to be plus, to have natural hair.
I think the real problem is all the negative connotations people have with that term. They think, 'Oh my God! I don't want to be 'plus-size!'' But people attach too much significance to terms. We can't let these terms define us or our beauty.
I am fascinated by the engineering. The science of constructing and understanding why it stands. And I am drawn by the madness, the beauty, the theatricality, the poetry and soul of the wire. And you cannot be a wire-walker without mingling those two ways of seeing life.
— Philippe Petit
Phoenix is an interesting example. Drive around and see the golf courses everywhere, and you see people's big green lawns. And you live in a desert! I've always remarked about the capacity of human beings to look at somewhere and move there because of its uniqueness and its beauty and then change it.
I like the thought that what we are to do on this earth is embellish it for its greater beauty, so that oncoming generations can look back to the shapes we leave here and get the same thrill that I get in looking back at theirs - at the Parthenon, at Chartres Cathedral.
— Philip Johnson
The difference between a home run and a swing-and-a-miss is, what, an inch and a half? You can throw a great pitch, the guy makes a great swing. And if it's at a guy, it's an out. That's the beauty of baseball, really. There's not just one guy in control.
— Phil Humber
I approach beauty the same way I approach clothing - I think people should do whatever to themselves to make them feel more comfortable in their skin.
— Petra Collins
If beauty isn't genius it usually signals at least a high level of animal cunning.
— Peter York
The idea of beauty today is a bloody mess. It's really awful. You look in the fashion magazines and see all of these retouched people. Some guys called retouchers go on the computer and take away everything that you are and then call it photography. I think it's such an insult.
— Peter Lindbergh
Modern art, in particular, seems especially vulnerable to fraud. Its abstractions are sometimes difficult to understand or grasp, and a modern painting is often loved less because of its intrinsic quality - its beauty, as conventionally understood - than because of the identity of the painter, its mark of social status.
— Peter Landesman
The last thing left in nature is the beauty of women.
— Peter Beard
Obscenity, which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life, is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food, which it devours in secret.
— Percy Bysshe Shelley
It's a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I'd be rotten to the core.
I thought I was going to be a serious screenwriter and produce serious films. It was going to be 'American Beauty' and very important work.
I think the fashion industry and the media industry in general have a responsibility to make sure that they celebrate the rich differences in all our backgrounds to make sure we don't fall into the trap of reducing beauty to one specific mold.
'Sports Illustrated' has set the standard for what a swimsuit model should be. For a magazine that has that much influence to include models of different body types on their pages shows that they're breaking down old beauty ideals while opening the doors of diversity and inclusivity.
For me, diverse beauty is an affirmation of every single person in his or her own skin.
I believe I'm beautiful because I'm me. I also believe that if you can find beauty in everything, you can allow that to change your mind-set, and doing so makes you a happier person.
The #SwimSexy campaign is redefining standards of beauty, and I'm proud to be a part of it. My hope is that this campaign connects with women and girls of all ages, body-types, races, and backgrounds.
I have been performing in the street for more than 50 years: magic for basically 60 years, and the high wire 45 years. The beauty of it is that it's never the same. It's never easy. And yet, part of my art is to make it look easy.
Swift speedy time, feathered with flying hours, Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.
— Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.
— Phil Ochs
Citizens of Ukraine will never enjoy the beauty of peace unless we settle down our relations with Russia.
— Petro Poroshenko
We have this weird beauty standard where women, like, shouldn't grow: what we think is feminine is often what is also pre-pubescent.
Beauty is being in harmony with what you are.
— Peter Nivio Zarlenga
I'm firmly convinced that true beauty only springs from the acceptance of oneself, from an awareness of who we really are.
I love the game. I love to watch. I watch it with my kids. I'm able to divorce the beauty of the athletics from the corporate entity that is the National Football League.
Hero Ride gives everyone the opportunity to get involved with an incredible charity, and the beauty of this challenge is that you can set the boundaries: whether you can manage 10 miles or 100 miles on the ride to Blackheath, Hero Ride is for everyone.
— Peta Todd
