“Overhead there lies an uninterrupted ocean of delicate blue whose expanses are freely coursed by majestic white behemoths quietly sailing to distant horizons. And under our feet there are listless expanses of emerald-green brilliantly splashed by the golden pigment of a thousand dandelions. And to stand in unbridled awe of both is to miss neither, for to miss such things is to miss life itself.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“We do not like final knowledge, because knowledge, Phaedo, has no dignity or
severity: it knows, understands, forgives, without attitude; it is sympathetic to the
abyss, it is the abyss. Therefore we deny it and instead seek beauty, simplicity,
greatness and severity, of objectivity and form. But form and objectivity, Phaedo,
lead the noble one to intoxication and desire, to horrible emotional transgressions
rejected by his beautiful severity, lead to the abyss. Us poets, I say, it leads there,
for we are unable to elevate ourselves, instead we can only transgress.”
― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice

“The more I saw her, the more she enchanted me. She was exquisitely beautiful. Her slenderness was a charm. I was lost in contemplation.

What was passing in my mind I should have some difficulty in explaining. I was full of indulgence for her life, full of admiration for her beauty. The proof of disinterestedness that she gave in not accepting a rich and fashionable young man, ready to waste all his money upon her, excused her in my eyes for all her faults in the past.

There was a kind of candour in this woman. You could see she was still in the virginity of vice. Her firm walk, her supple figure, her rosy, open nostrils, her large eyes, slightly tinged with blue, indicated one of those ardent natures which shed around them a sort of voluptuous perfume, like Eastern vials, which, close them as tightly as you will, still let some of their perfume escape. Finally, whether it was simple nature or a breath of fever, there passed from time to time in the eyes of this woman a glimmer of desire, giving promise of a very heaven for one whom she should love. But those who had loved Marguerite were not to be counted, nor those whom she had loved.”
― Alexandre Dumas fils, La dame aux camélias

“Whatever marvel happens in this world, it is certainly less marvellous than this whole world itself â€� I mean the sky and earth, and all that is in them â€� and these God certainly made. But, as the Creator Himself is hidden and incomprehensible to man, so also is the manner of creation. Although, therefore, the standing miracle of this visible world is little thought of, because always before us, yet, when we arouse ourselves to contemplate it, it is a greater miracle than the rarest and most unheard-of marvels.”
― Augustine of Hippo, City of God

“Death is the mother of beauty”

Julia Julia.
What are you doing to me? And what is it about beauty that intimidates; causing us to kneel somewhere deep inside and pray and wonder just how close we might crawl before being banished from the sanctuary?”

“I feel like I’m holding the space for a certain vibrational texture of life and love.

So much is at stake. We are losing out on the actual life experience we came here for. We’re disconnected from the energy that’s supposed to make life worth living.

Beauty, love and ecstasy is what we came here for.”
― Lebo Grand

“Looks and possessions do not interest me, you've been indulging on the empty compliments you so often receive; being pretty, hot or sexy does not make you beautiful, show me your dreams and goals, and the effort to attain them, for that defines your character, it comes from your soul, the place where true beauty resides.”
― Sayed H Fatimi
