We prefer deep reflections on Philosophy, Shakespearean Sonnets, and tender musings along the lines of:

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful we must carry it with us or we find it not. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beauty in nature's coin must not be hoarded, But must be current, and the good thereof, Consists in mutual and partaken bliss. -Milton (1634)

It is our continuing goal to foster the world's greatest converstation.

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty-a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. -Bertand Russell, Mysicism and Logic, 1918

All The Best,

William Einstein Shakespeare :)

Beauty in all things-no, we cannot hope for that; but some place set apart for it. -Edna St. Vincent Millay, 1940
