“Whatever is placed beyond the reach of sense and knowledge, whatever is imperfectly discerned, the fancy pieces out at its leisure; and all but the present moment, but the present spot, passion claims for its own, and brooding over it with wings outspread, stamps it with an image of itself. Passion is lord of infinite space, and distant objects please because they border on its confines and are moulded by its touch.” MomentsPassionSpaceLordPiecesObjectsPleaseClaimsInfiniteWingsSpotsBordersFancyOver ItPresent MomentLeisureStampsBroodingInfinite Space Book:Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated)

“Beauty is, in some way, boring. Even if its concept changes through the ages... a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. A beautiful nose shouldn't be longer than that or shorter than that, on the contrary, an ugly nose can be as long as the one of Pinocchio, or as big as the trunk of an elephant, or like the beak of an eagle, and so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. Beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite like God.” IfsWayLongBigsAgeBeautifulCertainPossibilityObjectsOffersConceptsInfiniteUglyBoringContraryRangeNosesElephantsUnpredictableFiniteUglinessEaglesTrunksBeaksBeautiful Objects Author:Umberto Eco
