Looking Forward, Glancing Back




The  c o n t e m p l a t i o n  of beauty, 

whether it be a uniquely tinted sunset, 

a radiant face, or a work of art, 

makes us glance back unwittingly 

at our personal past and juxtapose 

ourselves and our inner being with the

utterly unattainable beauty revealed to us.

~ Vladimir Nabokov
