On Brains and Beauty

The most compelling beauty isn't on the surface. It's a beauty that comes through experience and intensity of observation. Sometimes the beauty that is on the surface becomes rather problematic because it's a beauty that knows it is supposed to be beautiful. Consequently, it is ugly inside.

Loose paraphrase of Yusef Komunyakaa.

"I do not know whether we can be saved through the intellect, but I do know that I can be saved by nothing else."

~ Dorothy Sayers
