“Your sublime beauty will allow you to donate joy and light to the eyes of the lucky ones who will have occasion to meet you.”

“Observe the light and consider its beauty. Blink your eye and look at it. That which you see was not there at first, and that which was there is there no more.”

“You meaner beauties of the night,
That poorly satisfy our eyes
More by your number than your light;
You common people of the skies,
What are you when the sun shall rise?”

“It is sufficient for you that the one who envies you is distressed at the time of your joy.”

“Take playfulness seriously, and you will apprehend what is at the center and rediscover your revered art in a more sublime light.”

“My god, Sage. Your eyes. How have I never noticed them? When you stand in the light. They're amazing… like molten gold. I could paint those… They're beautiful. You're beautiful.”

“One of life’s joys was to have friends who gave you reality checks…who would call you on your crap before it rose so high you drowned in it.”

“When you call me close
to tell me
your body is not beautiful
I want to summon
the eyes and hidden mouths
of stone and light and water
to testify against you.”

“If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.”

“True beauty is not related to what color your hair is or what color your eyes are. True beauty is about who you are as a human being, your principles, your moral compass.”
