In Japan, the people preserve their temples for their exquisite beauty, and there are a great many sincere Buddhists; but China is irreligious: a nation of atheists or agnostics, or slaves of impious superstitions.

— Isabella Bird

— Isabel Allende
I don't do very much for beauty. I use very simple things on my skin. I haven't got time. I would always get facials and then come home laden with product, and pay a lot of money and never use it.

Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.

Well the beauty of 'Iyanla: Fix My Life' is that men are in every show.

— Iyanla Vanzant

I don't wear much makeup, except during work. I felt lucky to be chosen to be a model. I used to joke, 'The next best thing to winning the lottery is having a beauty contract.'
