— Urmila Matondkar

— Victoria Arlen
The ideal and the beautiful are identical; the ideal corresponds to the idea, and beauty to form; hence idea and substance are cognate.
To love beauty is to see light.
Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.
— Vera Farmiga
Life has sweetness to it and a beauty and a power that I wanted to celebrate.
— Valerie Harper
I never thought of becoming an actress, but I always dreamt of winning a beauty pageant, and I achieved that.

Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world. Unfortunately, I was so homesick I couldn't appreciate its beauty.

— Violante Placido
'Breaking Bad'... the beauty of it is, some people are always going to love 'Breaking Bad' more. But I run into people every day now who say 'Better Call Saul' is their favorite of the two. I love hearing that. I don't know where I fall personally on that scale, that continuum - I try not to choose.
— Vince Gilligan
I have always liked to get my pictures taken, and I like taking care of my looks. But, I am not one to use beauty products and treatments.
— Vijender Singh
I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store, I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton, and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.'
— Victoria Legrand
Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble; in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain.
I stood in front of a mountain and was overwhelmed by the beauty and energy; I had goosebumps.

Because beauty will be so readily accessible, and skin color and features will be similar, prejudices based on physical features will be nearly eradicated. Prejudice will be socioeconomically based.
As I look into the future, I see radical changes in both how people 'attain beauty,' and how the world perceives beauty. In general, I believe traditional beauty will be less valuable - and more uniqueness will be heralded.
I think 20th century media were about tricking people - and the beauty of the Internet is you can't lie anymore.
