At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough. No record of it needs to be kept and you don't need someone to share it with or tell it to. When that happens — that letting go — you let go because you can.
TONI MORRISON, Tar Baby
What do I care if you are good? Be beautiful! and be sad!
CHARLES BAUDELAIRE, Flowers of Evil
Beauty is Nature's coin, must not be hoarded, But must be current, and the good thereof Consists in mutual and partaken bliss.
JOHN MILTON, Comus
