How one views oneself as beautiful or not beautiful or desirable or not desirable has deep consequences in terms of one’s feelings of self-worth and one’s capacity to be a political agent.” – Cornel West “I think that’s what art is: art is communication made in the hope that interesting miscommunications will arise.” – Misha Glouberman “Aesthetics is both politics and philosophy, a series of agreements and disagreements between subjective minds.” – Jimenez Lai “I hate that aesthetic game of the eye and the mind, played by these connoisseurs, these mandarins who ‘appreciate’ beauty. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross “Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.” – Alfred North Whitehead “Aesthetics have substantial political consequences. There is the beauty of light and joy and strength exulting but there is also the beauty of shade, of sorrow and sadness, and of humility oppressed.” – Arnold Bennett “We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates.” – Jun’ichirō Tanizaki “People are like stained-glass windows.

It is not something physical.” – Sophia Loren “Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms, you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross “Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naiveté rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics.

“Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. Here are some of the best deep aesthetic quotes to make you appreciate beauty even more.
