We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance... And yet we all know that life experiences do change us.

To me eyewear goes way beyond being a prescription. It's like makeup. It's the most incredible accessory. The shape of a frame or the color of lenses can change your whole appearance.

In the United States three new methods of transportation made their appearance at almost the same time - the steamboat the canal boat and the rail car.

If we get our self-esteem from superficial places from our popularity appearance business success financial situation health any of these we will be disappointed because no one can guarantee that we'll have them tomorrow.

It's how you look at beauty. Is it only an outward appearance with hair and makeup and a hot body or is it something deeper than that?

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.

Beauty is produced by the pleasing appearance and good taste of the whole and by the dimensions of all the parts being duly proportioned to each other.

We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it.

Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.

No matter what a woman's appearance may be it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.

The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility you are not attractive - you are leaking.

I love her attitude but as much as I'd like to bring my medals to a speech or appearance I never do.

Attitude is more important than the past than education than money than circumstances than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance giftedness or skill.

The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things but their inward significance.

I spend up to two hours a day on correspondence. Hearing from fans on the Internet and being able to directly respond to the fan base is exciting. You can cut out the middle man like the fan club... before a recent appearance in Tyler Texas I had fans reaching out on MySpace offering their lake house Mavericks tickets. It was amazing.

There are two sorts of curiosity - the momentary and the permanent. The momentary is concerned with the odd appearance on the surface of things. The permanent is attracted by the amazing and consecutive life that flows on beneath the surface of things.

I'm never overawed by a situation and I think that's because I've always looked several years older than I am. So because people were treating me like I was 40 when I was 29 I've always felt in control of a situation. People used to say when you're 32 you'll look 32. I'm still waiting for that moment where my age catches up with my appearance.
