The beautiful is a carnal attraction




"The beautiful is a carnal attraction which keeps us at a distance and implies a renunciation. This includes the renunciation of that which is most deep seated, the imagination. We want to eat all the other objects of desire. The  beautiful is that which we desire without wishing to eat it. We desire that it should be."                                                                                                                Simone Weil
