Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Albert Einstein

Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.
