I must confess that I never could see any beauty in her. Her face is too thin; her complexion has no brilliancy; and her features are not at all handsome. Her nose wants character; there is nothing marked in its lines. Her teeth are tolerable, but not out of the common way; and as for her eyes, which have sometimes been called so fine, I could never see anything extraordinary in them.

The more experienced I get, the more I understand that it’s not about perfection – it’s about progression.

The mind， both in so far as it understands， and in so far as it imagines， is passive.
