Why is wisdom so fair? Why is beauty so wise?<br /><br />Because all else is temporary, while beauty and wisdom are the only real and constant aspects of truth that can be perceived by human means.<br /><br />And I don't mean the kind of surface beauty that fades with age, or the sort of shallow wisdom that gets lost in platitudes.<br /><br />True beauty grips your gut and squeezes your lungs, and makes you see with utmost clarity exactly <i>what</i> is before you.<br /><br />True wisdom then steps in, to interpret, illuminate, and form a life-altering insight.
