Going by those famous words from Franz Kafka, here are some women destined to keep men around the world forever young.
Here are the results of the Harpers & Queen magazine's list of the most beautiful women in the world, as compiled by 1,000 experts from the worlds of fashion, arts, and the media.
10. Charlotte, of Monaco
The most beautiful European princess, young Charlotte Marie Pomeline Casiraghi has many an admirer, blue-blooded and otherwise.
The attractive girl with an obsession for equestrian sport is legendary actress Grace Kelly's granddaughter.
9. Aishwarya Rai
Yes, that's right!
The esteemed British publication has our very own Ms Rai breaking into the top ten.
8. Kate Moss
Stirring up immense controversy in the early part of her career for her notoriously thin 'waif' look, Kate is indeed a dramatically dazzling woman.
Recently, a warped painting of Kate by Lucian Freud, picturing her as naked and visibly pregnant, sold at Christie's for $7.2 million.
7. Emmanuelle B� art
A luscious French actress, Emmanuelle is a classical European enchantress.
Daughter of French singer and poet Guy B �art, her greatest success till date is her role as a nude model in Michel Piccoli's 1991 film, Belle noiseuse, La, or The Beautiful Troublemaker.
And her negative outing in the Tom Cruise-starrer Mission Impossible .
6. Uma Thurman
Ah yes. The Bride is back.
Uma Karuna Thurman, a moniker decidedly strange by Boston standards, was named thus by her celebrated Buddhist scholar father, Robert S Thurman.
Nominated for an Academy Award for her terrific work in Pulp Fiction , Uma's most memorable turn came with another Quentin Tarantino project she co-conceptualised: the fantastic Kill Bill films.
If death were to greet one, wielding a samurai sword -- God, let it look like Uma.
5. Nigella Lawson
Nigella Lawson is probably the only person in history to have declined an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) honour for 'her services to journalism and cookery', (in 2001).
The ravishing chef is often a subject of discussion amid young British males, most of whom presumably responded to the title of her cookbook, Nigella Bites, with an amused, 'oh, does she?
4. Sofia Coppola
A surprising decision, it's nonetheless fabulous to see the unconventionally irresistible young director so high up on a list like this.
Francis Ford Coppola's daughter, her film debut was as the baby (boy!) in the christening scene toward the climax of The Godfather (1972).
Sofia, winner of an Oscar for Lost In Translation, is currently dating Quentin Tarantino.
3. Queen Rania, of Jordan
Inspiring the most gifted of writers to abject inarticulacy, Queen Rania is one monarch we just can't help falling in love with.
The gorgeous Queen is well known for her sharp business sense, her elegance, and her outspokenness, and often espouses humanitarian and charitable concerns.
2. Christy Turlington
Now 'Turly' is the one who put the super in supermodel.
Since 1987, she's graced about a thousand international magazine covers, including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, and Elle.
Audiences around the world also cherish her great PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) ad where Christy appeared in the nude with a board saying 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur.'
Amen, Ms Turlington.
1. Angelina Jolie
This husky voiced daughter of legendary actor John Voight just can't seem to stop taking the world by storm!
Often referred to as the sexiest woman alive, Angelina's animal sensuality and primeval intensity are balanced by a strong humanitarian streak -- among other things, the scorcher actress is Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations.
Angie's been married to Billy Bob Thornton, accused of breaking up Brad Pitt's marriage with Jennifer Aniston, and has admitted that she finds a lot of women delicious.
Now, that's got to be the wildest chick in the world.
And we love every bit of the madness!
