Pàgina 103 - A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face ; a beautiful behavior is better than a beautiful form : it gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures; it is the finest of the fine arts.
Pàgina 190 - Every person has two educations, — one which he receives from others, and one, more important, which he gives himself.
