Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Every age has a beauty. One human being so magnetic all the artists, painters and poets of the age can do nothing but spend their lives attempting to capture their heavenly essence. Once in a generation, the gods will gift us such an idol. And in case you were wondering, that, my friend, is the meaning of life. To seek out that beauty wherever it may reside and praise it with things unattempted yet in art or prose or rhyme.”
What I know is from what I experience, over and over and over again. Love is not the thing you dream of, nor the unknowable ideal constructed entirely in your mind. Love is, and only ever will be, the person standing in front of you, day after day, offering you love, and love is what you feel inclined to give in return.
