Quote

Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.

If I think something is beautiful, there must be somebody out there who will agree with me.

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.

What is really beautiful must always be true.

But I think beautiful is simple and elegant, like a ballad with simple harmony.

Always think of what is useful and not what is beautiful. Beauty will come of its own accord.

Things are beautiful if you love them.

The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason.

The human soul is hungry for beauty; we seek it everywhere - in landscape, music, art, clothes, furniture, gardening, companionship, love, religion, and in ourselves. No one would desire not to be beautiful. When we experience the beautiful, there is a sense of homecoming.
