“The human face does not always reflect the beauty that may repose in the soul.”

“The experience of beauty does something profound and powerful within the heart and soul of every human being. Beauty creates wonder in us.”

“The serial number of a human specimen is the face, that accidental and unrepeatable combination of features. It reflects neither character nor soul, nor what we call the self. The face is only the serial number of a specimen”

“The beauty of the human soul Is not the pretty face. It’s found within the heart and hands Of those who look — and stay.”

“The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.”

“It is true that the sky was always beautiful but I don't remember marvelling at sunset or gazing at the dawn of a new day. Survival does not allow time for poetic reflection.”
