Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.

Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.

'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' - that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.

Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.
