The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for.
Oscar WildeBut beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face.

Except, of course, in the Church. But then in the Church they don't think.
