Beautiful Quotes
-

The eternal task of song can never be finished in a single lifetime. That is the beauty and fascination of the art.

The latter excites for a moment; the former endures forever.

She came into a room; she stood, as he had often seen her, in a doorway with lots of people round her. But it was Clarissa one remembered.

Yann Martel

I'm such a believer in 'if you're beautiful on the inside it really shows on the outside.' I know a lot of people who are physically very beautiful, but their inside doesn't represent that. So to me, it just doesn't come across as having a sparkle to them or an energy that just radiates.
