Far away in the sunshine are my highest inspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead.
Louisa May Alcott
Joseph Joubert
All gardeners live in beautiful places because they make them so.
Anon
There are beautiful flowers that are scentless, and beautiful women that are unlovable.
Jane Austen
An agreeable manner may set off handsome features, but can never alter plain ones.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful rests on the foundations of the necessary.
Janet Fitch
Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. And intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.
John Keats
A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness.
