Beauty is that in the presence of which we feel more alive.
John O’Donohue, Irish Poet
“I love this quote because it takes beauty to a much deeper place than just being something attractive that we look at, such as an attractive face or a beautiful landscape. It takes in the notion that we’re in dynamic relationship with something and that by the presence of the other we are being enriched and becoming more alive. How beautiful is that?”
