| Good motivation causes good action. The beauty of action is in the method. Buddhahood is the beauty of result. Generally beauty means something positive, but if you are subjectively too attached to it and handle it wrongly, it can lead to destruction. But then I wonder about the definition of beauty. Can you consider the art of killing as beauty, especially painless killing? Or the art of warfare - little expense but a huge amount of destruction? Maybe it is considered as beauty. |

| Quote of the moment |
| The earliest instinct of the child, and the ripest experience of age, unite in affirming simplicity to be the truest and profoundest part for man. Likewise this simplicity is so universal and all-containing as a rule for human life, that the subtlest bad man, and the purest good man, as well as the profoundest wise man, do all alike present it on that side which they socially turn to the inquisitive and unscrupulous world. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Pierre (1852), bk. XV, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 7, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1971). ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Except by name, Jean Paul Friedrich Richter is little known out of Germany. The only thing connected with him, we think, that has reached this country is his saying,-imported by Madame de Staël, and thankfully pocketed by most newspaper critics,-"Providence has given to the French the empire of the land; to the English that of the sea; to the Germans that of-the air!" |
| ~ Thomas Carlyle, Richter. Edinburgh Review, 1827. ~ |
