“The truth." Dumbledore sighed. "It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.”

“Beauty breeds beauty, truth triggers truth. The cure for writer's block is therefore to read.”

“Nature has a great simplicity and therefore a great beauty”

“We're all damaged somehow."-A Great and Terrible Beauty”

“Remember the perfections of that God whom you worship, that he is a Spirit, and therefore to be worshipped in spirit and truth; and that he is most great and terrible, and therefore to be worshipped with seriousness and reverence, and not to be dallied with, or served with toys or lifeless lip-service; and that he is most holy, pure, and jealous, and therefore to be purely worshipped; and that he is still present with you, and all things are naked and open to him with whom we have to do. The knowledge of God, and the remembrance of his all-seeing presence, are the most powerful means against hypocrisy.”

“Art should be truth; and truth, unadorned, unsentimentalized, is beauty.”
