"Beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder, because mere physical beauty is not real beauty. I believe that real beauty is long-lasting, impervious to the ravages of time and age. It can only be found deep within each person’s heart, inner character, in our capacity to give and receive love, in our appreciation of life, in our values and personality, in our wit and humor, in the quality of our dreams and imperishable hopes"….Anonymous
