As for everything else so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained.

All things are perceived in the light of charity and hence under the aspect of beauty for beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love.

Beauty whether moral or natural is felt more properly than perceived.

Everyone has their own insecurities regardless of how you look or how people perceive you but sometimes people give their insecurities too much power. Defining beauty is simply a matter of opinion. For me real beauty has very little to do with the structure of someone's face or body.

You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older.

In just the same way the thousands of successive positions of a runner are contracted into one sole symbolic attitude which our eye perceives which art reproduces and which becomes for everyone the image of a man who runs.

I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome but in not trying. It is liberating. Most people attach failure to something not working out or how people perceive you. This way it is about answering to yourself.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.

Were I called on to define very briefly the term Art I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation however accurate of what is in Nature entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'

Everybody kind of perceives me as being angry. It's not anger it's motivation.
