Quote by William Shakespeare

Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear

Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear

Summary

This quote implies that there is a certain level of beauty that is so exquisite and precious, that it cannot be fully appreciated or utilized in the earthly realm. It suggests that some forms of beauty are too overwhelming and valuable to be fully experienced or contained within the confines of our existence. This could be interpreted as a reflection on the inaccessibility or fleeting nature of certain forms of beauty or the idea that some forms of beauty are meant for a higher, transcendent realm.

There must be many social systems that would work far better than any now in existence. In the scientific tradition, our task is to find them.
