"Beauty is a harmonious relation between something..." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“The present letter is a very long one, simply because I had no leisure to make it shorter.”

“Nobody is publicly accepted as an expert on poetry unless he displays the sign of poet, mathematician, etc., but universal men want no sign and make hardly any distinction between the crafts of poet and embroiderer. Universal men are not called poets or mathematicians, etc. But they are all these things and judges of them too. No one could guess what they are, and they will talk about whatever was being talked about when they came in. One quality is not more noticeable in them than another, unless it becomes necessary to put it into practice, and then we remember it.”

“The weather and my mood have little connection. I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter.”

“Music is the perfect type of art.”

“I am a thing of beauty.”

“Everything that's lovely is But a brief, dreamy kind of delight.”

“Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy.”

“Depend only upon yourself, but work in harmony with all things.”

“Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.”
