"For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled." ― Hunter S. Thompson Topic(s): Beauty More From Hunter S. Thompson "Politics is the art of controlling your environment." "No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master." "The person who doesn’t scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs." More In Beauty "For, when with beauty we can virtue join, We paint the semblance of a form divine."― Matthew Prior "The past itself, as historical change continues to accelerate, has become the most surreal of subjects – making it possible… to see a new beauty in what is vanishing."― Susan Sontag "I write music all the time. When I talk about having writer’s block, it’s more to do with lyrics than anything else."― Sarah McLachlan
