My prior post about sharing a print every day reminded me of a couple of quotations that seem apposite, so I’d thought I’d share them too.
A person should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of their life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.
—Goethe
Three things restore a person’s good spirits: beautiful sounds, sights, and smells.
—Talmud Bavli,Berakhot 57b
