Beauty
Eroticism, then, is about gravity, not about gratification, the pull toward something that reorients the self. And this gravity manifests not only in romantic or sexual relationships, but in every domain where desire dares to disrupt duty.
Tamara • Erotic Decisions
There are times when beauty is shy and hesitates until it can trust the worthiness of the beholder.
John O'Donohue • Divine Beauty: The Invisible Embrace
Beauty isn’t all about just nice loveliness, like. Beauty is about more rounded, substantial becoming. So I think beauty in that sense is about an emerging fullness, a greater sense of grace and elegance, a deeper sense of depth, and also a kind of homecoming for the enriched memory of your unfolding life. - John O'Donohue
beauty is not a luxury
