We prefer deep reflections on Philosophy, Shakespearean Sonnets, and tender musings along the lines of:

CXLVIII

O me! what eyes hath Love put in my head,
Which have no correspondence with true sight;
Or, if they have, where is my judgment fled,
That censures falsely what they see aright?
If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote,
What means the world to say it is not so?
If it be not, then love doth well denote
Love's eye is not so true as all men's: no,
How can it? O! how can Love's eye be true, 
That is so vexed with watching and with tears?
No marvel then, though I mistake my view;
The sun itself sees not, till heaven clears.
  O cunning Love! with tears thou keep'st me blind,
  Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find.
 	--William Shakespeare

The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility. --Albert Einstein

Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but, until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful.

All The Best,
