“Passion won’t come out of sorrow. And, without passion, how can you see beauty? You can intellectually appreciate a painting, poem, or statue, but you need this great sense of inward bursting of passion that creates in itself a sensitivity that can see beauty. It is, I think, rather important to understand sorrow. I think it is related: beauty, passion, sorrow.” – J. Krishnamurti
