True Beauty

Aristotle called beauty "the gift of God;",

Socrates called it "a short-lived tyranny;"

Theophrastus, "a silent deceit;"

Theocritus, "an ivory mischief;"

Carneades, "a sovereignty which stood in need of no guards."

The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul."
~ George Sand~
