Natural Beauty Quotes

“There are some places so beautiful they can make a grown man break down and weep.”
― Edward Abbey, The Monkey Wrench Gang

“There was so much time that marvelous summer. Day after day, mist rose from the meadow as the sky lightened and hedges, barns and woods took shape until, at last, the long curving back of the hills lifted away from the Plain. It was a sort of stage-magic.”
― J.L. Carr, A Month in the Country

“Floating in the void free of gravity I made my way along the side of the ship. I listened to my own breaths. It was so dark and I was so weightless that I had to look for my bubbles to be sure which way was up. I swam backward a little away from the boat and into outer space and waved my arm through the water. Sure enough the phosphorescents appeared trailing my movement like the tail of a shooting star. I let myself tip upside down and floated there watching the gentle snowstorm marveling that a world of such strangeness existed here all the time just under the surface.”
― Elisabeth Eaves, Wanderlust

“The more we observe nature, the more there is the possibility of seeing things we've never seen before.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya

“Cambridge is beautiful... but... it doesn't have the power to heal and uplift as these forests and hills do. Buildings don't soothe you in the way that natural scenery does.”
― Siobhán Carew, Cambridge Red

“Just then, I notice Mrs. Mulgrave giving the younger woman beside her a slight push in my direction.
"This is my daughter, Maisie. She will be your maid."
"Maisie?" I can't help blurting out in astonishment.
I hardly recognize her. The past seven years have transformed Maisie from a plain preteen into a beautiful young adult. I didn't expect her to be so... pretty. She wears a black tee with black pants, but the simple clothing and lack of makeup only enhances her looks. She has heavy-lidded deep brown eyes, clear skin with the hint of a tan, the kind of plush pink lips that housewives in my New York hometown would pay good money for, and long brown hair highlighted with strands of gold. Her only adornments are a thick wristwatch and a rectangular pendant hanging on a chain around her neck.
I feel a pang of sympathy as I look from mother to daughter. If Maisie's luck had been different---if she'd been born to parents like the Marinos---she could have had the world at her feet, instead of being shut up in a house working as a maid.”
― Alexandra Monir, Suspicion

“When we begin to live like wildflowers, we put so much of our hearts into blossoming even in the most hostile surroundings.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya

“Rapunzel woke up to the dazzling, sparkling, gently chiming display with more cheer than anyone really should who had spent the last six thousand and approximately nine hundred days in a lonely tower.
"This birthday is going to be great. I just know it!"
She only really knew about birthdays because she had read about them in one of the thirty-seven books she owned: Book #3: Stories from Rome and Other Great Empires. Marc Antony apparently had splendid birthdays, and Cleopatra gave him the most cunning gifts. Anyway, they seemed like a marvelous idea, and she had adopted this time of year as her own.
Had there been anyone around, they would have been amazed at the hermit's beauty. For one thing, her cheeks were surprisingly rosy for a girl who had been indoors her whole life.
(This was because on sunny Wednesday and Saturday afternoons she carefully followed the window-shaped spot of sun around her room, lying down and soaking in the warm rays.)
Her eyes were large and green because of parents she had never known.
Her lips were usually set in an expectant smile because she was Rapunzel; good-natured, lighthearted, with a quick mind that constantly refused to be crushed by her circumstances.”
― Liz Braswell, What Once Was Mine

“The holy well was before them. If it hadn't been marked as special, the place where the water came to the surface, fresh and clean and clear, would have been easily missed. But long ago, someone had built a stone border around it and added a vertical font with a woman's worn face on it. Water poured from her open mouth into the pool below. Little white moss flowers grew all around it.
A few yards away was a craggy standing stone. The stone was twice as tall as Merida and covered all over with carved spirals. On the first day of spring solstice, the sun lit up a perfect trail of light along the stone as it rose; quite magical. Merida used to ride Angus to the stone when she was first learning all the wilds of DunBroch; it was so impressive that it had taken her several visits to realize that the holy well, not the stone, was the reason this path was kept clear.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Bravely

“They talk about plants but she talks to plants. She believes plants can listen, talk, dance, and do whatever they want.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya

“I was running, as fast as I could,
carrying you, Carnation,
shaking and scared ...

She was there, waiting for me.
Standing surrounded by a meadow of lavender,
her arms opened wide for me
to run into and cry and cry ...”
― Susan L. Marshall, Fleur of Yesterday

“She was wearing a pair of blue shorts and a T-shirt. No makeup, no glitter, no headband, and it was the most beautiful she'd ever been. Right here, in my arms, in this quiet and horrible, moon-drenched place. Here she was, eyelashes lined with tears, irises blindingly green, the dusting of freckles on the bridge of her nose, copper and sun-kissed and there for the counting. Her heart, practically levitating, some pink-gold and glowing thing I could almost wrap my fingers around. Was this what it meant to wear your heart on your sleeve? Was this what it looked like to be good? To shine on anyway?”
― Lauren Okie, Tropesick

“Stunning beauty can be captured in a glimpse, but captivating enough to influence a lasting appreciation.”
― Wayne Chirisa

“Innocence paired with natural beauty creates artistic values for eternity.”
― Sir Kristian Goldmund Aumann, World Moving Love Quotations: 121 World Moving Love Quotations

“Because of my youthful innocence, I saw the beauty parlor as a great place. I now see it as a business that was killing natural beauty. The friendly characters running the shop never intended it to be that way, but they too became caught up in the latest products. They were, no doubt, nice folks but misled as we all were into believing the products were harmless.”
― Donna Maltz, Living Like The Future Matters: The Evolution of a Soil to Soul Entrepreneur

“With her fair skin, big green eyes, and those stunning freckles, it wouldn't take much to banish her current street urchin look. Because even as she was, all raw and unpolished, it was easy to see she was a natural beauty, almost bohemian in nature---a modern-day flower child.”
― Heather Webber, In the Middle of Hickory Lane

“Self facial massage not only feels good, it has many benefits. It helps circulation, releases toxins, is anti-aging, helps your skin absorb skincare products, relieves sinus pressure, helps reduce the appearance of scars, and
relieves tension.”
― Carrie Scharf, Skincare For Relaxation

“You can enjoy the rich, deep color and smooth feel of ebony chopsticks...
... or the mellow beauty and soft touch of lacquer chopsticks, which can be almost like works of art in themselves. And I think you can get in touch with nature by holding those natural cedar chopsticks.”
― Tetsu Kariya, Japanese Cuisine

“A touch of nature is a touch of a mother.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya, Safa Tempo: Poems New & Selected

“No matter how many times he tried to look away, Enrique couldn't stop staring at Carolina.
Her long black hair was curled, wisps of it framing her face. A few loose strands rested on her breasts. Her bright green dress showed off an incredible body. Her waist was tiny, and her hips were wide--- a perfect knockout hourglass figure. But most importantly, she was strong. Her body was crafted from hard labor. It was insanely erotic. So many women in San Diego were too skinny and had so much filler that they all looked like they were airbrushed, but Carolina was a natural beauty.”
― Alana Albertson, Kiss Me, Mi Amor

“Violet looked up at the perfectly full moon. Just a big dead rock floating there doing nothing. But it never ceased to be beautiful somehow. Maybe that’s what makes it beautiful, she considered. It’s not trying to be something it’s not. Earth, on the other hand, was straining pretty hard, always scrambling to remake itself in the image of some sci-fi dystopia from the golden age of ersatz coffee and mutton chop sideburns. When will it be enough?”
― Cliff Jones Jr., Dreck

“The beauty was just mind-boggling for this English girl...It was like being in your own national park, but without the signs telling you what you're supposed to think.”
― Peggy Orenstein, Unraveling: What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater

“I join thousands of parents globally in advocating for our daughters to accept their natural bodies and for the cessation of the harmful notion that only a “new one” will bring happiness.”
― Lisa Shultz, The Trans Train: A Parent's Perspective on Transgender Medicalization and Ideology

“Taormina sits on a natural platform above the coast, its small streets and tiny staircases climbing to the summit of Mount Tauro, where an ancient Greek theater looks out across the sea. Stunning views aside, its coral-colored stone houses with wrought-iron balconies climb above elegant piazzas lined with cafés and filled with people. Deep green bushes with their bright pink flowers seem to grow everywhere, straight from the baking-hot stone. The town is beautiful, the pearl of the Ionian Sea, recently made famous by the show The White Lotus.”
― Lizzy Dent, Just One Taste

“The more we get inside nature, the more she offers herself to us.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya

“In contrast to the richly ornamented chamber, the queen sat simply robed in a long-sleeved lavender tunic, hair unbound as her handmaiden worked aromatic oils into the long tresses. Unadorned as she was, stripped of cosmetics and jewelry, she seemed the most beautiful creature Roxannah had ever laid eyes on.
Tall and willowy, she turned with swanlike grace to watch them bow.”
― Tessa Afshar, The Queen's Cook

“A shallow dish the color of clotted cream, a scattering of raspberries, wine-red loganberries, redcurrants on the stem and wild strawberries the size of a child's fingernail, complete with tiny alpine strawberry flowers. Never has there been a prettier dessert, and not a recipe or a creative cook in sight.”
― Nigel Slater, A Thousand Feasts: Small Moments of Joy… A Memoir of Sorts

“In 2024 I proudly joined the 'Women over 40' club, somehow arriving without coloring my hair, getting botox, fillers or plastic surgery. In today’s predominantly 'plastic cookie-cutter' culture, that’s a beautiful and rebellious statement— one celebrating authenticity and humanity in its purest form. Living long enough to earn wrinkles, grey hair and deal with an aging body is a privilege not all of us are granted. That is why I will always wear my age with gratitude and fierce passion.”
― Elena Levon

“Creative people live in awe of the world.”
― Wayne Gerard Trotman

“Maggie looked like the sunshine main character of every story. Her curls were naturally beautiful and alluring, while mine were frayed and resembled a lion’s mane on a bad day—at least they did at that moment. Her eyes were pools of liquid brown like honey, mine were… seaweed green.
Her dresses were pastels and creams, mine were the darker shades. She wore pointed flaps with straps, I lived in my leather boots and embroidered socks. Even in that moment, Maggie wore an orange dress tied in a loose bow across her chest. I wore my mauve one with a brown corset embroidered with flowers. Cute, yes, but two different people. If someone came in searching for a lost princess, I’d believe them if they told Maggie it was her.”
― Taylor Epperson, Second Time's a Charm
