"Hath the spirit of all beauty Kissed you in the path of duty?" ― Anna Katharine Green Topic(s): Beauty More From Anna Katharine Green "There are two kinds of artists in this world; those that work because the spirit is in them, and they cannot be silent if they would, and those that speak from a conscientious desire to make apparent to others the beauty that has awakened their own admiration." More In Beauty "Beauty and fullness of tone can be achieved by having the whole orchestra play with high clarinets and a carefully selected number of piccolos."― Gustav Mahler "I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me. I write a book for no other reason than to add three or four hundred acres to my magnificent estate."― Jack London "If beauty isn’t genius it usually signals at least a high level of animal cunning."― Peter York
