Auguste Rodin’s Quote

藝術大師 羅丹 名言

“In short, Beauty is everywhere. It is not that she is lacking to our eye, but our eyes which fail to perceive her. Beauty is character and expression. Well, there is nothing in nature which has more character than the human body. In its strength and its grace it evokes the most varied images. One moment it resembles a flower: the bending torso is the stalk; the breasts, the head, and the splendor of the hair answer to the blossoming of the corolla. The next moment it recalls the pliant creeper, or the proud and upright sapling.” -Auguste Rodin

I would translate as:

四處皆是美, 並非美不存在於我們眼前, 而是我們缺乏察覺美的眼睛

四處皆是美, 非美不存在, 乃缺審美之眼
