"One of the greatest beauties is the beauty of people. It can be expressed both in inner and outer qualities. Outer beauty has been admired in all cultures whether it is the pure natural human form or the use of attractive costumes and paints. Whereas people's inner beauty expresses itself through their character. The standards of what is beautiful might vary from culture to culture and from time to time, but there is something that does not change - all human beings crave for beauty. No matter how different is the vision of beauty in the different cultures, everybody wants to be beautiful and attractive, because to be beautiful is to be desired. Since people existed, they were exposed to the subjective standards of beauty and that most of the people strive to live up the beauty ideals of their society."
