In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it. Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty-he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world-alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.

The eye encompasses the beauty of the whole world.

Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.

Give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the outward and inward may be one.

We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain. As long as a man has the strength to dream, he can redeem his soul and fly.

Beauty is sincerity. There are so many different ways someone can be beautiful.
