Intense love quotes and poetry that stir the heart

Cloths of Heaven
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
-William Butler Yeats


It's amasing... it's beautiful!... How did you do that?
-Ground Hawk Day movie

Moshe Safdie: Seeking Beauty

Moshe Safdie is an architect who designed many well known architectural spaces. These include the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, and the Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas, set to open in 2010.

He spoke at the TED conference in 2002, when he discussed what makes the building unique.



In his talk, Moshe also shared a beautiful poem he wrote, which for me clarifies some of the internal struggles I face as designer-in-the-making :)

He Who Seeks by Moshe Safdie
He who seeks truth shall find beauty,
He who seeks beauty shall find vanity.

He who seeks order shall find gratification,
He who seeks gratification shall be disappointed.

He who considers himself the servant of his fellow beings
Shall find the joy of self-expression.
He who seeks self-expression
Shall fall into the pit of arrogance.
Arrogance is incompatible with Nature.

Through the nature of the Universe
And the nature of man we shall seek truth.
If we seek TRUTH we shall find BEAUTY.
