We are so busy that most of the time we don’t have enough time to perceive the beauty in the small things. Yet, it’s in these moments of stillness and contemplation that we can rediscover our sense of wonder and creativity. “Aesthetic” is a way of seeing things: not only their look, but what they mean and how they vibrate within you. This book of quotes has been put together to give you direction and goal setting in your life about noticing the beauty that exists everywhere, even in simple and passing times. It can be a tender flame in the sunset, a nap with a book during a calm afternoon, or a couple of words of kindness from a beloved person that you know are all you need to find beauty everywhere.
Quotes are the means of introspection, motivation, and self-expression. This method is often used to describe thoughts and feelings we cannot articulate in our own words. By reflecting on these words, one can get a hold of the true essence of life and moreover, find novel ways of inspiration in the simplest things. Most of the 14 are these quotes which, through their measure, help you to find beauty wherever you are even if it seems too small.
1. “The earth laughs in flowers.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
This statement of Emerson’s involves us in a game of finding beauty which lies in the simplicity of nature. Flowers usually used as symbols of life and beauty show the earth’s laughter — a sign that nature is radiant with life force. When you are feeling down, look out the window, and get inspired by the earth’s magic — the blooming of a flower no matter what struggle the nature of earth is going through inevitably makes us appreciate the beauty in life — even amid pain.
2. “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” — Coco Chanel
The Chanel quote takes the stand that aesthetic beauty lies in the inside, thus telling us about how the true meaning of beauty is to be found in the soul not in the outward appearance. If we are our real selves, we give off an air of self-assurance and elegance that no amount of outward beauty can match. This quote is a message to you that you should be unapologetically authentic to yourself because only trust and self-care lead to real beauty that is more about you being you than fitting into the society’s standards.
3. “You do not just wake up and become the butterfly—growth is a process.”
This anonymous saying, a powerful metaphor of human growth, is used to describe personal growth. It is shown that it is not just the result that counts, but rather the journey that has to be taken to get to the place. The metaphor of the butterfly transitions, suggesting that while your personal life may be a little sluggish at times, it is a beautiful and transforming process.
4. “Like wildflowers; you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would.”
Through this saying, one would get driven to never give up on the dreams and ideas one feels have been underestimated. It’s not just about the exterior appearance one might have. Beauty and strength often come from hidden places. Allowing yourself to break free and realize your potential wherever you’re placed, instead of sulking over where you could be, is spiritual fullness.
5. “She was chaos and beauty intertwined. A tornado of roses from divine.”
Irresistible attractiveness isn’t always sweet and gentle—now and then it’s wild, hot, and extreme as well. To be sure, this quotation captures the concept of paradox by likening a person to both disorder and beauty which shares some of the characteristics of a storm but also something lovely as a flower. This is a good lesson for us that we should be present in our full selves, including what is fierce and what is fragile.
6. “We are all broken, that’s how the light gets in.” — Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway’s discussion of human vulnerability and the role of light in the process of the human race is thought-provoking. One can sense beauty by experiencing vulnerability, which means, in being able to admit to our imperfections, we allow ourselves to observe the stunning aspects concealed within them. The imperfections of life are openings through which light enters and so visit it, we become luminous, more attractive, and more beautiful even if we have our struggles.
7. “The stars are the streetlights of eternity.”
With this poetic expression, one’s mind transcends into the sphere of the unimaginable and the marvelous along with a directive to lift one’s gaze toward the skies to be reminded of the endlessness of the universe. Stars, which are far-flung onlookers, or streetlights in the sky, provide a perpetual comfort in the partial twilight of the mind. The stars thus remind us that even in the times of utmost difficulties, still, beauty is real.
8. “In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.” — Albert Camus
Camus’ words convey to us the lesson that in spite of any external conditions, there is a stable, self-contained and positive part within that we can utilize. When life seems to us its most desolate, your invincible summer, the kernel of your inner strength and spirit remains undamaged. The thought that no matter what take place, you’re inwardly solid gives one a consoling hope.
9. “No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart.”
This statement brings to the fore that real beauty is not only skin-deep but that it is a product of one’s kindness, empathy and love as well. Your physical beauty will come from the positive and good vibes you would send out to the world as well as your heart truly shining which is the most beautiful thing you could ever be.
10. “She had the scars on her body as if it is the best dress on chances, fire being the designer”
Great as it truly shifts the paradigm of beauty in our thinking and the quote makes us aware that beauty can also be associated with sadness and difficulties. It is a system of affirmation coming to terms with the fact that your scars are your past and in time you have to accept them as part of you that through them you have progressed to who you are today. The way is filled with a myriad of strengths and successes transcribing resilience, and the successful overcoming of your preferred obstacles.
11. “You are like the sky that contains all things else, the changing weather is just the manifestation of our negative emotions” — Pema Chödrön
Pema Chödrön, a Buddhist teacher, who is a devoted professional, made that citation which gives us a sense of cultivation and perspective indeed. As you are the sky, you are steadfast and inexhaustible, while the challenges and emotions that you struggle with are fleeting, similar to the swift movements of weather changes. It is a fact that ones’ beauty does not change because it is something which is within you all the time.
12. “Her soul is such a sunset—everlastingly grand, whichever time of day it may be.”
This analogy identifies the inner beauty of a person with the beauty of a sunset, which is always breathtaking no matter the time. People, like the colors of a sunset, are not constantly remaining the same. On the contrary, they change and shift depending upon themselves. However, the best part being their enduring existence is that people go through these normal changes as their magnificence always shines through with a timeless touch.
13. “Aesthetic is not just about how something looks, it’s about how it makes you feel.”
This is not just a style philosophy that impresses through outward features but goes to the heart of experiences and how they are felt. Indeed, it is through the emotions and experiences that something can be considered beautiful. Regardless of whether it’s the deep-red foliage of autumn, the tender glow of a candle, or the sound of a loved one, aesthetic beauty also uncloaks to emotion and memory automatically.
14. “The moon lives in the lining of your skin.” — Pablo Neruda
The words of Neruda touch people’s hearts, opening up a space to experience something beyond the mundane, for it is said that the Divine spark is within us. As the moon sends forth its light into the sky at night, the beauty inside is emanated by each one of us as well. In this phrase, you are a witness to nature’s magic, full of tranquility, and shining charm.
