More In Beauty "There are fathers who do not love their children; there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson."― Victor Hugo "Such discussions help us very little to enjoy what has been well done in art or poetry, to discriminate between what is more and what is less excellent in them, or to use words like beauty, excellence, art, poetry, with a more precise meaning than they would otherwise have."― Walter Pater "I believe every chess player senses beauty, when he succeeds in creating situations, which contradict the expectations and the rules, and he succeeds in mastering this situation."― Vladimir Kramnik
