Elegance is inferior to virtue.

And now, once again, I bid my hideous progeny go forth and prosper. I have an affection for it, for it was the offspring of happy days, when death and grief were but words, which found no true echo in my heart.

Elegance is inferior to virtue.

But I am a blasted tree; the bolt has entered my soul; and I felt then that I should survive to exhibit what I shall soon cease to be - a miserable spectacle of wrecked humanity, pitiable to others and intolerable to myself.

Elegance is inferior to virtue.

Every political good carried to the extreme must be productive of evil.

Elegance is inferior to virtue.


Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

If it squirms, it's biology; if it stinks, it's chemistry; if it doesn't work, it's physics; and if you can't understand it, it's mathematics.

and of course, as long as you are looking down, 
you cannot see something above you.

The Moments Between by Natalie Banks / The Moments Between Quotes …
“None of us on this Earth are promised a tomorrow. All we can do is learn to live and love in the place right where we are at. To appreciate the ones we love while they are here with us. And to live our lives to the fullest that we can. Because in the end, all we really have in this life to hold onto…are the moments between.”
