“I think something like that would be good for him, especially if the girl were unconventionally beautiful. They are the best kind of girls, I think. ”

—Stephen Chbosky

“I think something like that would be very good for him, especially if the girl were unconventionally beautiful. They are the best kind of girls, I think. I personally find 'super models' strange.”

—The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Personally, I like to think my brother is having a college experience like they do in movies. I don't mean the big fraternity party kind of movie. More like the movie where the guy meets a smart girl who wears a lot of sweaters and drinks cocoa. They talk about books and issues and kiss in the rain. I think something like that would be very good for him, especially if the girls were unconventionally beautiful. They are the best kind of girls, I think. I personally find 'super models' strange. I don't know why this is.”

—Charlie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

“Sometimes the beauty is easy. Sometimes you don't have to try at all. Sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake. Sometimes there's poetry written right on the bathroom wall.”

—Ani Difranco

Unconventional Beauty

The glue on Envelopes. Old stamps. Encyclopaedias. Elderly couples. Light blue nail polish. The sound of rain at night. The smell of rain on concrete. Smoke rising from a hot cup of tea. Animal rings. A cat’s purr. Origami. The individual beauty of everyone. A child’s small smile. Records. Goldfish. Water droplets. Ballet. Stars. Small feet. Plaits. Eyelashes. The sound of a leaf crunching under your foot. Patterns. Curtains. Rocking horses. Piano Keys. Prints. Pale skin. Photo negatives. Suitcases. Nice librarians. Lying in grass. Sitting in the shower. Fireplaces. The sound of glass shattering. Fairy floss. A cool breeze in Summer. A warm blanket in Winter. The smell of Autumn. The look of spring. A dog’s invisible smile. Taking tags off clothes. Putting a photo in a photo frame. Putting your hair up. Sleeping in. Waking up early for the sunrise. Sleeping after a Sunset. Road trips. Hearing your favourite song in the car next to you. Reading in a tree. Reading aloud a poem to yourself. Scrapbooks. Small people. Tall people. People who like to ask a lot of  questions. The quiet people. Red lips. A windy forest. A cloudy, cool day. Ponds. Rainfalls. Going back to a place you always used to go to. Remembering someone you haven’t thought of in a while. Eating with friends. Giving compliments. Laughing just for the sake of it.

(Charlie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower)

“My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.”

—William Shakespeare
