"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness." ― John Keats Topic(s): Beauty More From John Keats "There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify – so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish." "Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced." "Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works." More In Beauty "It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength."― Maya Angelou "In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty."― Phil Ochs "A sculptor wields The chisel, and the stricken marble grows To beauty."― William C. Bryant
