Sirach 15:  Before man are life and death, good and evil, whichever he chooses shall be given him.
1 Corinthians 2:  What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him, this God has revealed to us through the Spirit.
Matthew 5:  Jesus said to his disciples: “I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

God is beauty; beauty is an expression of God. Neither can be found without serious and sensitive searching, open and attentive pursuit.
