About

“What are aesthetics?”

“The study of beauty.”

“Beauty? What for?”

“Beauty. Why not?”

“Why do you have to study it?”

“You don’t. It’s everywhere, in great profusion, and always will be.

Were I to cease studying it, it would not go away, if that’s what you mean.”

“Then why do you?”

“It entrances me, it always has, so it’s what I do – despite occasional ridicule.”

-From A Soldier of the Great War by Mark Halprin
