Beauty is altogether in the eye of the beholder.
Lew Wallace, American Soldier (1827-1905)
There's one more thing I want to say. It's a touchy subject. Black beauty. Black sensuality. We live in a culture where the beauty of black people isn't always as celebrated as other types. I'd like to help change that if I can!
Jody Watley, American Musician (1959-  )
Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.

It is very necessary to have markers of beauty left in a world seemingly bent on making the most evil ugliness.
