More In Beauty
- "In order to have great happiness you have to have great pain and unhappiness – otherwise how would you know when you’re happy?"― Leslie Caron
- "Tramping is too easy with all this money. My days were more exciting when I was penniless and had to forage around for my next meal… I’ve decided that I’m going to live this life for some time to come. The freedom and simple beauty of it is just too good to pass up."― Christopher McCandless
- "I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused."― Baruch Spinoza
