Quote

Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.

There is a role and function for beauty in our time.

Beauty is a radiance that originates from within and comes from inner security and strong character.

Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.

Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people - the beauty within themselves.

There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.

Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.

Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well.

I try to figure out - intellectually, philosophically, psychologically - what the experience of beauty is.

Beauty arises out of human inspiration.
