I hear this a lot.. but, what does "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder" mean?

Anything would be great. Thanks. =]

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" does not have anything to do with God.

It means that the beholder (the person looking, seeing, judging, etc.) is subjective, and there is not only one definition of beauty.

Something I see as beautiful, you may think is ugly, because each of us has our own opinions.

It's just another turn-of-phrase, like "whatever floats your boat!" or "six to one, half a dozen to another" they all just mean that what is right for you may not be right for me, and if one person thinks you're beautiful, it doesn't mean everyone else has to.

Hope that helps clarify a little bit. English is confusing sometimes!
