"All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of
the dead".

               - Samuel Beckett



"For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to endure..."
               - Rainer Maria Rilke



"Handsome" means many things to many people. If people consider me handsome, I feel flattered - and have my parents to thank for it. Realistically, it doesn't hurt to be good-looking, especially in this business."
               - Richard Chamberlain
