Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

Those who do not know what love is liken it to beauty. Those who claim to know what love is liken it to ugliness.

I love beautiful people.

Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there.

Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.

Don't get caught up in the 'look' thing. Sometimes, we as men and women, the first thing that attracts us to someone is their physical appearance, and that's not always a good thing because what's good on the outside is not always good on the inside.

Faith goes out through the window when beauty comes in at the door.

Love is the poetry of the senses.

If I could be granted a wish, I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.

Look your best - who said love is blind?

Spanish women are so sexy. The way they move and talk drives me crazy!

Love is the gentle smile upon the lips of beauty.

All kinds of beauty do not inspire love; there is a kind which only pleases the sight, but does not captivate the affections.

But the most common species of love is that which first arises from beauty, and afterwards diffuses itself into kindness and into the bodily appetite. Kindness or esteem, and the appetite to generation, are too remote to unite easily together. The one is, perhaps, the most refined passion of the soul; the other the most gross and vulgar. The love of beauty is placed in a just medium betwixt them, and partakes of both their natures: From whence it proceeds, that it is so singularly fitted to produce both.

It is strange, is it not, how a person can adore one's soul so much that they adore one's body also?

Just because lips have met doesn't mean hearts have joined. And just because two bodies are drawn to each other doesn't mean two people are right for each other. A physical relationship does not equal love.

O beauty, are you not enough; why am I crying after love.

Love is the lotus, lust is the mud the lotus arises out of.

In the true mythology, Love is an immortal child, and Beauty leads him as a guide; nor can we express a deeper sense than when we say, Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.

Not all the pride of beauty; Those eyes, that tell us what the sun is made of; Those lips, whose touch is to be bought with life; Those hills of driven snow, which seen are felt: All these possessed are nought, but as they are The proof, the substance of an inward passion, And the rich plunder of a taken heart.

A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.

I love beautiful women, and beautiful women love me. It has to be both ways.

Beauty is the child of love.

What attracts us in a woman rarely binds us to her.

Love is of something, and that which love desires is not that which love is or has; for no man desires that which he is or has. And love is of the beautiful, and therefore has not the beautiful. And the beautiful is the good, and therefore, in wanting and desiring the beautiful, love also wants and desires the good.

Beauty compelled admiration and erotic yearning; such was its organic function. But never by itself could it command love.
