Chapter 134: Beauty

It is amazing how complete is the delusion

that beauty is goodness.

Leo Tolstoy

-o0o-

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything

beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

-o0o-

Since love grows within you, so beauty grows.

For love is the beauty of the soul.

St Augustine of Hippo

-o0o-

Life is full of beauty. Notice it.

Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and

the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the

wind. Live your life to the fullest potential,

and fight for your dreams.

Ashley Smith

-o0o-

People are like stained-glass windows.

They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,

but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty

is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

-o0o-

Beauty in things exists in the mind

which contemplates them.

David Hume

-o0o-

The more often we see the thimgs around us

-- even the beautiful and the wonderful things --

the more they become invisible to us. That is

why we often take for grated the beauty of this

world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the

clouds -- even those we love. Because we see

things often, we see them less and less.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

-o0o-

Always think of what is useful

and not what is beautiful. 

Beauty will come of its own accord.

Nikolai Gogol

-o0o-

Beauty is our weapon against nature;

by it we make objects, giving them limits,

symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and

freezes the melting flux of nature.

Camille Paglia

-o0o-

Imagination disposes of everything;

it creates beauty, justice, and happiness,

which are everything in this world.

Blaise Pascal

-o0o-

I do not have much patience with a thing

of beauty that must be explained

to be understood. If it does need additional

interpretation by someone other than the

creator, then I question whether

it has fulfilled its purpose.

Charlie Chaplin
