"A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life." ― Jean Ingelow Topic(s): Beauty More From Jean Ingelow "Man is the miracle in nature. God Is the One Miracle to man." "It is not reason which makes faith hard, but life." "I have lived to thank God that all my prayers have not been answered." More In Beauty "I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose."― Charlie Chaplin "People are like stained – glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."― Elisabeth Kubler-Ross "When everything else physical and mental seems to diminish, the appreciation of beauty is on the increase."― Bernard Berenson
