Beauty Quotes

“For it is only framed in space that beauty blooms. Only in space are events and objects and people unique and significant-and therefore beautiful.

Even small and casual things take on significance if they are washed in space, like a few autumn grasses in one corner of an Oriental painting, the rest of the page bare.”
