“The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart”

“That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.”

“Is your face a beautiful blossomor a sweet torture?I have no complaintsbut my heart is temptedto let youhear of its sorrows.”

“Every moment a taste of that beauty in our mouths, another stashed in a pocket. Impossible to say what: no cypress so handsome, no sunlight, a lonely hiddenness. Other pleasure gathers a crowd, starts a fight, lots of noise there. But soul beauty stays quiet..his amazing whereabouts unknown inside my heart.”

“Beauty surrounds us.”

“Judge the moth by the beauty of the candle”

“I see my beauty in you.”
