Quote

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

Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.

Beauty does not linger; it only visits. Yet beauty's visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm; it calls us to feel, think and act beautifully in the world: to create and live a life that awakens the Beautiful. A life without delight is only half a life.

Beauty in distress is much the most affecting beauty.

True beauty is born through our actions and aspirations and in the kindness we offer to others.

I don't think tragic situations are necessarily devoid of beauty.

Beauty arises out of human inspiration.

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

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

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.
