"A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language." ― Gaston Bachelard Topic(s): Beauty More From Gaston Bachelard "If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace." "The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows." "Poetry is one of the destinies of speech… One would say that the poetic image, in its newness, opens a future to language." More In Beauty "Acting is very much like a child making believe. I’m not one to become a character, but I fall in love with the character. It’s like having faith; you’re going to be that person for a while."― Lusia Strus "Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings."― Elisabeth Kubler-Ross "A witty woman is a treasure; a witty beauty is a power."― George Meredith
