Beauty

"It is told that once Ananda, the beloved disciple of the Buddha, saluted his master and said: 'Half of the holy life, O Master, is friendship with the beautiful, association with the beautiful, communion with the beautiful.' 'Say not so, Ananda, say not so', the Master replied. 'It is not half of the holy life; it is the whole of the holy life.'"

~Samyutta Nikaya

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty. That is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

~John Keats
