“The beauty of flames lies in their strange play, beyond all proportion and harmony. Their diaphanous flare symbolizes at once grace and tragedy, innocence and despair, sadness and voluptuousness. The burning transcendence has something of the lightness of great purifications. I wish the fiery transcendence would carry me up and throw me into a sea of flames, where, consumed by their delicate and insidious tongues, I would die an ecstatic death. The beauty of flames creates the illusion of a pure, sublime death similar to the light of dawn. Immaterial, death in flames is like a burning of light, graceful wings. Do only butterflies die in flames? What about those devoured by the flames within them?”
Emile M. Cioran
“One must give up a little character, the main source of beauty, at a beauty shop. Character is important because it remains as a woman's youth fades. Conduct, integrity and self-love can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful all the days of her life.”
Bobby W. Miller

“It's easier to leap if you're already dancing.”
“It is not only a beautiful object but it transcends that which we know and are familiar. It is other worldly, and to me that is something romantic and fantastic.”
Darryl Pitt
“I write so that I can transcend words and replace them little by little with heart.”
