Nothing can express the aim and meaning of our work better than the profound words of St. Augustine - 'Beauty is the splendor of Truth.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All beauty is truth, and all truth is compassionate. Few know that; fewer still can express it.
Beauty, like truth, is relative to the time when one lives and to the individual who can grasp it. The expression of beauty is in direct ratio to the power of conception the artist has acquired.
There is in true beauty, as in courage, something which narrow souls cannot dare to admire.
Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled; not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaning it.
Beauty is but the sensible image of the Infinite. Like truth and justice it lives within us; like virtue and the moral law it is a companion of the soul.
Without the emotion of the beautiful, the sublime, the mysterious, there is no art, no religion, no literature.
Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.
Beauty is something we can affirm and intend to have more of.
The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.
