About This Quote

Beauty is related not to loveliness but to a state in which reality plays a part. Beauty is a quality that everyone can perceive and it is also a quality that everyone has in common. It is a quality that can be found in all sorts of things. The most beautiful object in the world is the human body, because it is the only thing that we all have in common. In fact, when we study beauty, we discover that many things are beautiful because they help us to see reality more clearly.
