Looking for beauty quotes about the amazing life that is all around us, all day long, that we tend to overlook?
For many, beauty has a very narrow definition. They look at the physical beauty of others, or that which is overtly beautiful to most, as a whole.
This is only one, very narrow, definition of beauty though, and one that we should all consider expanding on, if we have not already done so.
Learning to appreciate this beauty can improve the quality of our lives, as we are able to look deeper and more meaningfully at people and things in our lives.
Here are some inspirational thoughts and quotes about beauty, as well as its many definitions that exist.
