“I kept going back to the window to look again at the huge, dazzling amphitheater, mountainous with the snowy peaks of its breakers of emerald, here an there polished and translucent, which with the placid violence let their beetling, lionlike crags and towering slopes topple into avalanches and collapse upon themselves under the faceless smile of the sun.” (pg. 251 ISYGF)
Music
“She flirted with the sunshine, her melting smile veiled by an invisible mist that was only a vacant space about her translucent surface, making it more succinct and striking, like the goddess shaped by a sculptor on a block, the rest of which he leaves rough-hewn. (ISYGF pg. 284)”
Movies
“Were it not for habit, life would seem delightful to beings constantly under threat of dying, in other words to all humankind. And for another thing, though the imagination is easily teased by the desire for something we cannot posses, its wings are never clipped as they would be by a closer glimpse of reality, in these encounters where the charm of the passing beauty is generally in direct relation to their brevity. (ISYGF pg. 292)”
Television
When looking at a Steeple
“When a breeze sprang up, it sent a thrill through the movable porch, eddying and rippling all over it like light, turning it into a tremulous cascade of leaves; and as the façade of vegetation swayed and shivered under the caress, it warped the shimmering of the pillars. (ISYGF pg. 295)”

About me: When I read things like this, with insight so innovative and enlightening I feel a wonderful twinge of hope in me, that makes me want to know more about the world.
When I read descriptions like these, it makes my heart ache, like seeing someone you are infatuated with, and you don't know whether they feel the same, but still, their beauty makes the thought of touching them, of knowing them a day dream filled with delight.
Who I'd like to meet: “The fear of a future deprives of the faces and voices of those we love, those who today give us our dearest happiness, rather than diminishing, may in fact be mad worse by the thought that the pain of this deprivation is to be compounded by something which at the moment seems even more unbearable—our no longer being affected by it as a pain, but being indifferent to it—for that would mean our actual self had changed, and not just that we had lost the delight in our parents’ presence, the charm of a mistress, the warmth of a friend; it would mean that our affection for them had been so utterly obliterated form our heart, of which it is an integral part today, that we would be able to take pleasure in a life spent without them, horrible though that seems at present; it would amount to a death of our self, albeit followed by a resurrection, but a resurrection in the form of a different self, whose love will remain forever beyond the reach of those parts of the former self that have gone down to death.” (pg. 250 ISYGF)
