Famous quotes containing the words american and/or beauty:

    “The ideal of the self-sufficient American family is a myth, dangerous because most families, especially affluent families, do in fact make use of a range of services to survive. Families needing one or another kind of help are not morally deficient; most families do need assistance at one time or another.”
    —Joseph Featherstone (20th century)

    “When a god is once beguiled
    By beauty of a mortal child,
    And by her radiant youth delighted,
    He is not fooled, but warily knoweth
    His love shall never be requited.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
