I think one of the things that language poets are very involved with is getting away from conventional ideas of beauty, because those ideas contain a certain attitude toward women, certain attitudes toward sex, certain attitudes toward race, etc.

It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

For two thousand years, the Church has guided the development of music, carefully legislating to fuse artistic talent and aesthetic beauty with the demands of the Faith.

I hold that the perfection of form and beauty is contained in the sum of all men.

I longed to arrest all beauty that came before me, and at length the longing has been satisfied.
