[highlight-text]We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes.

[highlight-text]No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?

[highlight-text]When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished if the solution is not beautiful I know it is wrong.

[highlight-text]Remember if you marry for beauty thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which perchance will neither last nor please thee one year: and when thou hast it it will be to thee of no price at all.

[highlight-text]Until I saw Chardin's painting I never realized how much beauty lay around me in my parents' house in the half-cleared table in the corner of a tablecloth left awry in the knife beside the empty oyster shell.

[highlight-text]When your inner eyes open you can find immense beauty hidden within the inconsequential details of daily life. When your inner ears open you can hear the subtle lovely music of the universe everywhere you go.

[highlight-text]The criterion of true beauty is that it increases on examination; if false that it lessens. There is therefore something in true beauty that corresponds with right reason and is not the mere creation of fancy.

[highlight-text]She walks in beauty like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

[highlight-text]Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves we are beautiful; in self-ignorance we are ugly.

[highlight-text]I have always been offended by the song that says 'Everything is beautiful in its own way.' If everything is beautiful then the word 'beautiful' has no meaning. If everything were purple there would be no word 'purple' in the language because it would not distinguish one thing from another.
