Wisdom from Romano Guardini

 
 
 

Beauty eludes those who pursue it for its own sake, and their life and work are ruined because they have sinned against the fundamental order of values. If a man, however, desires to live for truth alone, to be truthful in himself and to speak the truth, and if he keeps his soul open, beauty, in the shape of richness, purity, and vitality of form—will come to meet him, unsought and unexpected.

—Romano Guardini

included in the commemorative edition of The Spirit of the Liturgy by Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI)
