"What the hell are we messing about with plastic for?"

I found a money back guarantee on a beauty cream. Rushed down to the store. They took one look at me and paid me in advance.

Indeed, yes, why make something nearly as good as that made for the mass/money market, when you can do much better?

Sculptors, poets, painters, musicians--they're the traditional purveyors of Beauty. But it can as easily be created by a gardener, a farmer, a plumber, a careworker.

CHARLES DE LINT, The Onion Girl

Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.

CONFUCIUS

Beauty touches a place in our souls which understands beauty is primal reaction to ultimate value. Something which reflects time and evolution of this thing to an essence.

We are all hungry for beauty. We know it when we see it. We want it!

Who's not going to want the most beautiful boat?

Just ask people on this BB about how many people they have met and talked with because of their beautiful boats.

The pictures people send me of boats they have built (my wife calls them my "love letters") are beautiful!

So why aim low. Shoot for the stars. If you hit the moon, that's not bad!
