Let me see if I can break it down. I studied Shakespeare but I am not real familar with this sonnet.\n\nIn the old age black was not counted fair,\nOr if it were, it bore not beauty's name;\n(the color black was not considered something of beauty)\n\nBut now is black beauty's successive heir,\nAnd beauty slandered with a bastard shame:\n(not sure, successive heir would be like a son or daughter,\n beauty slandered - talked or gossiped about\n bastard shame - embarrassing)\n\nFor since each hand hath put on Nature's power, \nFairing the foul with Art's false borrowed face,\n(Each hand is showing its age\n The face will soon follow)\n\nSweet beauty hath no name, no holy bower,\nBut is profaned, if not lives in disgrace.\n(Beauty has no real power, it alters, changes,\n Not sure of second line)\n\nTherefore my mistress' eyes are raven black,\nHer eyes so suited, and they mourners seem\n(My lover's eyes are black\n They seem suited for crying or sadness)\n\nAt such who, not born fair, no beauty lack,\nSland'ring creation with a false esteem:\n(Not born beautiful or lacking in beauty\n Taunting nature with an inner beauty)\n\nYet so they mourn becoming of their woe,\nThat every tongue says beauty should look so.\n(The beautiful people cry\n because the inner beauty is the more beautiful)\n\nOkay thats my interpetation of it.  Not saying I'm right with all of it, but I hope I helped you to understand it better.

It is a quote attributed to Coco Chanel.  I think she was was basically saying older women aren't desirable, unless they have the decency to make themselves look younger than they are.  Kinda pathetic in my never to be humble opinion.

You are beautiful just the way you are. \n\nBeauty must be defined as what we are, or else the concept itself is our enemy.\n\nTo see beauty is simply to learn the private language of meaning which is anothers life - to recognize and relish what it is!\n\nWhy languish in the shadow of a standard we cannot personify, an ideal we cannot live? \n\n\n\nhttp://www.crimethinc.com

This sounds like a "spin-off" of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".  "Eye of the beholder" are the key words.  It simply means that each individual perceives reality based on a unique set of experiences or internal and external influences.  Any two individuals may "see" the same thing, but each will interpret or internalize what they see through their own unique process.  Maybe that is why people don't always "see eye-to-eye".

"I think, therefore I am". Rene Descartes (who was a french philosopher) said this back in the 1500's. What he meant was that the fact that he can think, proves his exisance, because he could not trust his eyes to really show him reality, or his ears to really hear. But thinking is the one thing that proves he really is real. \nSomething like that. Look him up. It's real interesting.

its a website\nhttp://www.straightupbeautiful.com\n\n:)\n\nBeauty involves the cognition of objects as having a balance and harmony with nature, which elicits in the viewer a sense and experience of attraction, affection, and pleasure. An "object of beauty" is anything in the perceived world which reveals a personally meaningful aspect of "natural beauty". The presence of the self in any human context means that beauty is naturally based on its human meaning, wherein human beauty is often the dominant aspect of a greater natural beauty.\n\nThe earliest theory of beauty can be found in the works of ancient Greek philosophers from the pre-Socratic period, such as Pythagoras. The extant writings attributed to Pythagoras reveal that the Pythagorean school, if not Pythagoras himself, saw a strong connection between mathematics and beauty. In particular, they noted that objects proportioned according to the golden ratio seemed more attractive. Some modern research seems to confirm this, in that people whose facial features are symmetric and proportioned according the golden ratio are consistently ranked as more attractive than those whose faces are not.\n\nAccording to an ancient Indian definition, the beautiful is that which from moment to moment is always new. That is to say, it removes the mind from the world in which things grow old. But considering that the visual system allows us to see by extracting the stable, rather than changing, features of the environment on a momentary basis, this ancient definition seems hard to support.\n\nDifferent cultures have deified beauty, typically in female forms. Here is a list of the goddesses of beauty in four different mythologies.\n\nAphrodite - Greek mythology \nFreya - Norse Mythology \nLakshmi - Hindu mythology \nVenus - Roman mythology \n \nLolitaBeauty contests claim to be able to judge beauty. The millihelen is sometimes jokingly defined as the scientific unit of human beauty. This derives from the legend of Helen of Troy as presented in Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, in which her beauty was said to have launched a thousand ships. The millihelen is therefore the degree of beauty that can launch one ship.\n\nThe foundations laid by Greek and Roman artists set the standard for male beauty in Western Civilization. The ideal Roman is the more masculine form of pure male beauty. He is ideally defined (very similar to today's pure definition of a Classic male beauty or masculinity today would be defined as: larger (ie. taller over 6',) far more muscular, long legged, with a full head of thick hair, a high and wide forehead - sign of intelligence, wide set eyes, a strong browline, a strong perfect nose and profile relationship, a smaller mouth, and a strong jaw line. These factors in combination would, as it does today, result in an impressive "grand" look of pure handsome masculinity.

Here are some good ones, I'm not sure which "famous quote" you mean.\n\n\nWit is educated insolence.\n\nHe who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.\n\nObstinate people can be divded into the opinionated, the ignorant, and the boorish.\n\nThe roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.\n\nAnyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way; this is not easy.
