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

And his heart was stirred, it felt a father's kindness: such an emotion as the possessor of beauty can inspire in one who offered himself up in spirit to create beauty. -Thomas Mann, Death in Venice

A little beauty is preferable to much wealth. SADI, Gulistan (1258)

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)

All The Best,

William Einstein Shakespeare :)

Beauty in distress is much the most affecting beauty. -Edmund Burke, A Philosophical Enquiry Into The Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful, 1757
