Quote by Jordan B. Peterson (Author)

“Making something beautiful is difficult but it is amazingly worthwhile. If you learn to make something in your life truly beautiful - even one thing then you have established a relationship with beauty. From there you can begin to expand that relationship out into other elements of your life and the world.”

“Beauty-be not caused said Emily Dickinson. 'It is." In one way she was wrong. The scattering of light over a long distance creates a sunset. The crashing of ocean waves on a beach is created by tides which are themselves the result of gravitational forces exerted by the sun and the moon and the rotation of the Earth. Those are causes. The mystery lies in how those things become beautiful. And they wouldn't have been beautiful once, at least not to my eyes. To experience beauty on Earth you needed to experience pain and to know mortality. That is why so much that is beautiful on this planet has to do with time passing and the Earth turning. Which might also explain why to look at such natural beauty was to also feel sadness and a craving for a life unlived.”
