“Beauty is, in some way, boring” – Quote by Umberto Eco
“Beauty is, in some way, boring. Even if its concept changes through the ages… a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. A beautiful nose shouldn’t be longer than that or shorter than that, on the contrary, an ugly nose can be as long as the one of Pinocchio, or as big as the trunk of an elephant, or like the beak of an eagle, and so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. Beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite like God.”
Umberto Eco

Umberto Eco
Erich Fromm on Exploitation, Manipulation and Destruction

John Trudell
Having or Freedom – Quote by Erich Fromm
