About This Quote

If you want special illumination, look upon the human face:See clearly within laughter the Essence of Ultimate Truth. There are some things that can only be seen in others. We all have our own unique humanity that is the source of our own unique wisdom. When we look into another person’s eyes, we find something uniquely beautiful and inspiring. We find humanity in every moment of life, whether it is by looking into someone’s eyes or sitting side by side with them on a long walk.
