- omosubi 1y agoI thought of quoting the end of Ode on a Grecian urn, but thought it might be distracting. "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
- andrei_says_ 1y agoWe are also surrounded by unspeakable mystery and beauty. At the same time. In the Civil War movie there’s a moment where the group is cornered by a sniper, pinned to the ground, not knowing if they’ll live beyond a few minutes or not. One of the characters looks at the flowers and the sky and is overtaken by the simple beauty of their existence. This.
- TheAlchemist 1y agoYes ! I love how Jim Simons talked about Beauty: "Be guided by beauty. I really mean that. Pretty much everything I’ve done has had an aesthetic component, at least to me. Now you might think ‘well, building a company that’s trading bonds, what’s so aesthetic about that?’ But, what’s aesthetic about it is doing it right. Getting the right kind of people, and approaching the problem, and doing it right […] it’s a beautiful thing to do something right."
