Alber ElbazWhat is wrong with looking muscular? Muscles are beautiful. Strength is beautiful. Muscle tissue is beautiful. It is metabolically, medically, and philosophically beautiful.

John KricfalusiA man can be beautiful physically, mentally, or personality wise. True beauty, though, is in the spirit.

Beautiful surroundings subtly encourage beautiful living. Drab surroundings, bad air, bad light, evoke bad reactions.
