Beastly

Just because something is beautiful doesn´t mean it´s good.

those who do not know how to see the precious things in life will never be happy.

You shouldn't miss someone who don't miss you, right?

Every girl pretends she is a princess at one point, no matter how little her life is like that.

Maybe we judge people too much by their looks because it's easier than seeing what's really important.

A beautiful thing is precious, no matter the price. Those who do not know how to see the precious things in life will never be happy...

People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don´t even notice anymore...

I love you, I thought. But I didn’t say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one— that she won’t say it back.

It hurts too much so I don't want to talk about it.

She wanted to leave. I loved her too much to make her stay.

You are ugly now, on the inside, where it matters most...you are beastly.

Better?" I went from holding her hand to hugging her. "Lindy, you loved me when I wasn't even human. You kissed me when I had no lips. You saw what was deep down inside me when I wasn't even sure about it myself. Believe me, there's no way I could do better. I think you're perfect.

... I was just... thinking." "That must have been quite an experience for you.

That's what true love should be like-the person should be part of your soul and you should know what they're feeling all the time.

Who dares disturb my roses?" Why did I say that

Magic. It was magic, and the magic is called love.

I am not frightened of you Kyle. I am frightened for you.

when you're a kid, they tell you that it's what's on the inside that counts. Looks don't matter . But that's not true. Guys like Phoebus in The Hunchback, or Dorian, or the old Kyle Kingsbury-- they can be scumbags to women and still get away with it because they're good-looking. Being ugly is a kind of prisoner.

Trust me?" I held my breath for her answer. She had every reason not to trust me. I'd been her kidnapper, her captor, yet I'd rather have died than hurt a single hair on her head.

- It's been going so well. We have a wonderful time in class, and I can feel the chemistry between you. - That's because it's chemistry class.

I’m a girl. Every girl pretends she’s a princess at one point, no matter how little her life is like that. And I like the idea of ‘happily ever after.

Surface beauty: blond hair, blue eyes" - she was looking at me - "is always easy to recognize. But if someone is braver, stronger, smarter, that's harder to see." - Kendra Hilferty

Having a Coke with You is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary it is hard to believe when I’m with you that there can be anything as still as solemn as unpleasantly definitive as statuary when right in front of it in the warm New York 4 o’clock light we are drifting back and forth between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles and the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them I look at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally and anyway it’s in the Frick which thank heavens you haven’t gone to yet so we can go together the first time and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism just as at home I never think of the Nude Descending a Staircase or at a rehearsal a single drawing of Leonardo or Michelangelo that used to wow me and what good does all the research of the Impressionists do them when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank or for that matter Marino Marini when he didn’t pick the rider as carefully as the horse it seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I am telling you about it.

A single white roes goes with everything, doesn´t it, and it symbolizes purity.

A beautiful thing is precious no matter the price

This isn't a fairy tale. It's New York City.

But I am old now; my life is older. When I made the choice I made, I did not think it was forever. It is another thing to give up so young.

But usually, I watched Linda read. I couldn't believe she'd read so much in summer! Sometimes she laughed, reading her book, and one time she even cried. I didn't know how anyone could make such a big deal about books.

...if there´s a beast,maybe he´s just a regular guy with a sin conditon or something. Maybe he just needs some understanding. Maybe we judge people to much by their looks because it´s easier than seeing what´s really important.
