"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."
Top 5 quotes from Beauty
"Calm, lasting beauty comes only in a dream, and this solace the world had thrown away when in its worship of the real it threw away the secrets of childhood and innocence."
"Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you, and be happy."
"When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
"It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from."
