Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it. Oscar Wilde
About This Quote

Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty.

It makes princes of those who have it. When a person says that beauty is a form of genius they are saying that beauty is an important thing that makes some people more intelligent and influential people in society. Beauty can make people more intelligent if they are able to understand why people find their appearance attractive.
