"In every man’s heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty." ― Christopher Morley Topic(s): Beauty More From Christopher Morley "Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting; she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief, the souvenir of pain." "Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs." "From now until the end of time no one else will ever see life with my eyes, and I mean to make the best of my chance." More In Beauty "Do not try to push your way through to the front ranks of your profession; do not run after distinctions and rewards; but do your utmost to find an entry into the world of beauty."― Sydney Smith "By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else. From beauty no road leads to reality."― Hannah Arendt "What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth."― John Keats
