Hughes
"All theory must be founded on one great fact—harmony; for harmony is the chief beauty of two or more sounds heard together. There may be figure, schemata, and all other niceties of succession and combination; but if no harmony, the music is not beautiful. It is dim, dull, and disagreeable." [Harmonies of Tones and Colours, Fragments from the Last Note-book, page 50]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"The beautiful is a manifestation of hidden laws of nature which would otherwise remain forever concealed. " [Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]
Cayce
"In your mind, in your heart, in your body - when you cherish the beautiful, when you cultivate it in the spirit of truth, nurturing it in the light of love, then joy and beauty and harmony come into your life again." [Cayce (2448-2]
Aristotle
"The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry and limitations; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful." [Aristotle]
