Summary

This quote suggests that we seek out beauty as a form of refuge or escape from the harsh realities and limitations of the world around us. In the presence of beauty, whether it be found in art, nature, or other aspects of life, we can momentarily attain a sense of tranquility and respite from the fears and anxieties associated with our finite existence. Beauty becomes an uplifting force that allows us to transcend the boundaries of the physical and connect with a deeper, more transcendent aspect of ourselves.
