Quotations
Beauty
Death is the mother of beauty. Only the perishable can be beautiful, which is why we are unmoved by artificial flowers.

-Emily Gabriela Vira
The really magical things are the ones that happen right in front of you. A lot of the time you keep looking for beauty, but it is already there. And if you look with a bit more intention, you see it.
