I’ve seen beautiful actresses get spat at or just someone trying to get a rise out of them so they can get an extra hundred bucks for a photo. It’s really rough. – James McAvoy

Quietness is the beginning of virtue. To be silent is to be beautiful. Stars do not make a noise. – James Stephens
Women who stay true to themselves are always more interesting and beautiful to me: women like Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe and Anna Magnani – women who have style, chic, allure and elegance. They didn’t submit to any standard of beauty – they defined it. – Isabella Rossellini
Some books I’ve kept because the binding is beautiful – I’m unlikely ever to read my grandmother’s copy of ‘The Life of Lord Nelson.’ I’m addicted to secondhand bookshops. – Hari Kunzru

I have no fear of being less beautiful, I’ve always been afraid of not being beautiful. – Isabelle Adjani
As ugly an admission as this is, I met my wife at a party, and if I had been to the same party and she were dressed in different clothes, I might never have talked to her.

I am in a fabulously lucky position in that I get to wear beautiful, beautiful gowns for functions, which I can then give back.

All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness. – John Ruskin
One of my favorite authors, Garbrielle Zevin, she did a book called ‘Elsewhere,’ that is one of my favorites, and I think they’re making that into a movie too. I really want to be in that one just because the story is so beautiful. – Isabelle Fuhrman
Beautiful speech doesn’t need protection, it’s ugly speech that needs protection. We have these cultural norms that allow people to say really ugly things. You don’t have to invite them to your dinner party, but you should let them say it. – Jeff Bezos
The sacrifices of friendship were beautiful in her eyes as long as she was not asked to make them. – Hector Hugh Munro
