If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week; for perhaps the parts of my brain now atrophied would have thus been kept active through use.

Beauty adorns virtue. -Leonardo da Vinci

world of theophanies

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night... the breath of a buffalo in the winter time... a little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset. -Crowfoot

The sight of anything extremely beautiful, in nature or in art, brings back the memory of what one loves, with the speed of lightning.

This is how love of the beautiful and love give each other life. -Stendhal

..we can no longer afford to throw away even one unimportant day by not noticing the wonder of it all. -Sarah Ban Breathnach

The world shall perish not for lack of wonders, but for lack of wonder. -J. B. S. Haldane

...grant that I may become beautiful in my soul within, and that all my external possessions may be in harmony with my inner self. May I consider the wise to be rich, and may I have such riches as only a person of self-restraint can bear or endure. -Plato

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable. -George Bernard Shaw

...we can't survive without enchantment...the loss of it is killing us. -Thomas Moore
