Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is that if we are not beautiful to each other, we cannot know beauty in any form.

All I know is that I’ve wasted all these years looking for something, a sort of trophy I’d get only if I really, really did enough to deserve it. But I don’t want it anymore, I want something else now, something warm and sheltering, something I can turn to, regardless of what I do, regardless of who I become. Something that will just be there, always, like tomorrow’s sky.

— Michele Oka Doner, in “The Inspired Home Interiors of Deep Beauty” by Karen Lehrman Bloch (via Alive on All Channels)
