To a true artist only that face is beautiful which, quite apart from its exterior, shines with the truth within the soul

Sometimes the beauty is easy. Sometimes you don't have to try at all. Sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake. Sometimes there's poetry written right on the bathroom wall.

Ani DiFranco
