David Hume
— Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, historian, economist, librarian and essayistBut the most common species of love is that which first arises from beauty, and afterwards diffuses itself into kindness and into the bodily appetite. Kindness or esteem, and the appetite to generation, are too remote to unite easily together. The one is, perhaps, the most refined passion of the soul; the other the most gross and vulgar. The love of beauty is placed in a just medium betwixt them, and partakes of both their natures: From whence it proceeds, that it is so singularly fitted to produce both.

E. B. White
— Versatile Writer & Author of Beloved ClassicsA poet dares to be just so clear and no clearer; he approaches lucid ground warily, like a mariner who is determined not to scrape his bottom on anything solid.

— Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, historian, economist, librarian and essayistTruth is disputable; not taste: what exists in the nature of things is the standard of our judgement; what each man feels within himself is the standard of sentiment.

No man reasons concerning another's beauty; but frequently concerning the justice or injustice of his actions.
