Beauty

1. “The Beautiful is that which gives joy, not all joy, but joy in knowing; not the joy proper to the act of knowing, but a joy abounding and overflowing from this act because of the object known. If a thing uplifts and delights the Soul by the very fact of being granted to its intuition, it is good to lay hold of, it is beautiful.” -Jacques Maritain  (12/13/12)
2. Beauty is complexity expressed in its simplest form.
3. Rule # 61: Initially there is a superficial form of love that loves because it perceives beauty, but with hope true love develops and perceives beauty because it loves. (FB 8/18/12)
4. Truth is like beauty. You know it when you see it. (6/12)
5. "To love beauty is to see light." - Les Misérables (11/14/12)
