2 quotes

Men, gay or straight, can get beauty and lewdness into one image. Women are forever softening, censoring, politicizing.

Vamps and Tramps (1994)

Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature.
