FYI 2024

There is the world for you. Beauty, true beauty, is intangible. It is in the eye of the beholder. Something that we can lose at any moment, and the more you examine it, the more illusive it becomes. True happiness is virtue, and virtue is predicated on knowledge and righteous conduct.

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (1105) The Alchemy of Happiness

The truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is.

Nadine Gordimer (1963) Leaving School—II
