About This Quote

This quote is from the play, “The Dancing Girl” by George Bernard Shaw. The quote is a statement of the glory and glory of architecture. However, what this beautiful quote has proven to me is that the greatest beauty in life resides not in great works of art but in truly living a life rich in all it’s facets and every aspect of the self. Art can go no further; it can only exist within us. It is up to us to choose the path we wish to take and create with our own hands.
