Bio

We should be wary therefore what persecution we raise against the living labors of public men, how we spill that seasoned life of a man preserved and stored up in Books; since we see a kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends not in the slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at that ethereal and fifth essence, the breath of reason it self, slays an immortality rather than a life.
from John Milton's "Areopagitica"

Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty.
Oscar Wilde

The fruition of beauty is no chance of hit or miss...it is inevitable as life.
Walt Whitman
