“Beautiful is what we see. More beautiful is what we understand. Most beautiful is what we do comprehend.”
“He [Nicolaus Steno] told the audience, "Beautiful is what we see. More beautiful is what we understand. Most beautiful is what we do not comprehend.”
“It is the search for beauty...That is what it is. We find ourselves on this earth--gods and men--and we know that it is beautiful. That is one of the few things we understand--beauty; because it is there, in the world, and we can see it all about us. We want beauty. It requires our love. It just does.”
“...perhaps charity is the kind of beauty that we comprehend the best because we miss it the most.”
“What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for Beauty, and never see the Dawn!”
“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
