Quotes to help explain

-Irish poet John O'Donohue:

John O'Donohue on Beauty:

"We feel most alive in the presence of beauty. It returns us to our highest selves. A neglect of beauty is at the heart of our deepest modern crises....

"Beauty is not a luxury, but I think it ennobles the heart, and reminds us of the infinity that is within us."
---
"What we're afraid of is not so much our limitations, but the infinite within us."
