The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.

The past itself as historical change continues to accelerate has become the most surreal of subjects - making it possible... to see a new beauty in what is vanishing.

The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.

Beauty is the disinterested one without which the ancient world refused to understand itself a word which both imperceptibly and yet unmistakably has bid farewell to our new world a world of interests leaving it to its own avarice and sadness.

Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre the mind shapes itself to the body and roaming round its gilt cage only seeks to adorn its prison.

Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it for nothing is made worse or better by praise.

Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the Infinite.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

The attitude of the people proves that not only do we want to but that we can succeed in pulling our country out of the difficult position it finds itself in. The banking system of our country will survive and grow.

But I do think that we approach music in of itself with a religious attitude.
