About This Quote

This quote is very true. When you are creating something that is beautiful, you are truly making a masterpiece. You are creating something that will last for a long time and it will be the envy of others. But when you make yourself beautiful, when you become a being of beauty, when you make yourself a masterpiece, then you will be able to share your beauty with others and make them happy.

You will be able to love and be loved by others even more than they were before. The joy in this is not in the creation of the beauty, but in the sharing of it.
