ladybird, here are some quotes somewhat related to the painful side of beauty:
"For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenly disdains to annihilate us." -Rilke (Duino Elegies)
"Where is beauty? Where I must will with all my will Where I want to love and perish that an image may not remain a mere image." -Nietzsche (Zarathustra)
"Beauty is a world betrayed." -Milan Kundera (The Unbearable Lightness of Being)
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion." -Francis Bacon (Of Beauty)
[[Here are two more,,, the Dostoevsky is for Merve]]
"Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive." -Nikos Kazantzakis
