“Beauty is a primary principle that touches all parts and functions of our being. It opens us to the world and brings harmony to our relations with others and with nature; it helps us reach out and touch the entire universe… it is an affirmation of life… it enchants us, renews us, and gives us hope. One of the keys to keeping it alive in our consciousness and senses is to see beauty everywhere: To appreciate the sublime harmony of Olympic dives and madrigals, the elegance of a pole-vaulter and of a mathematical theorem — that is the secret of a broad aesthetic range… Those who love beauty are the truly lucky ones since they are able to love life”. from Beauty and the Soul: The Extraordinary Power of Everyday Beauty to Heal Your Life by Piero Ferrucci.
