“She started converting objects of beauty into objects of value.”

“The quality of beauty lies on how beholder values an object.”

“… what makes an object beautiful has nothing to do with its usefulness or its exchange value.”

“Men believe value is created by accomplishment, and they have objectives for the women in their lives. If awoman meets the objectives, he assumes she loves him. If she fails to meet the objectives, he will assume she does notlove him. The man assumes that if the woman loved him she would have tried harder and he always believes his objectives for her are reasonable.”

“Here was an absolutely compelling road sign. Stay on the road of objective truth - there is objective being and objective value. Stay on the road. There is Truth. There is a Point and Purpose and Essence to it all. Keep searching. You will find it.”

“The object of the artist is the creation of the beautiful. What the beautiful is is another question.”
