Petrus Christus - 1446
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing
.
Endymion, Keats - 1818

Flaming June
, F. Leighton - 1895
The word Wanax derives from the stem wanakt (nominative: ϝάνακτς, genitive: ϝάνακτος), and appears in Mycenaean Greek written in Linear B noscript as 𐀷𐀩𐀏.

The word Wanax in the Iliad refers to Agamemnon (ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν, i.e. "leader of men") and to Priam, high kings who exercise overlordship over other, presumably lesser, kings. 

After time, Wanax becomes Anax.
The word is found as an element in such names as 
Anaxagoras "king of the agora"
Pleistoanax "king of the multitude"
Anaximander "king of the estate"
Anaximenes "enduring king"
Anaktoria "royal [woman]"
Iphiánassa "mighty queen"

We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything.
Think. Think. Think.
You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap

Adriana: I can never decide whether Paris is more beautiful by day or by night.

Gil: No, you can't, you couldn't pick one. I mean I can give you a checkmate argument for each side. You know, I sometimes think, how is anyone ever gonna come up with a book, or a painting, or a symphony, or a sculpture that can compete with a great city. You can't. Because you look around and every street, every boulevard, is its own special art form and when you think that in the cold, violent, meaningless universe that Paris exists, these lights, I mean come on, there's nothing happening on Jupiter or Neptune, but from way out in space you can see these lights, the cafés, people drinking and singing. For all we know, Paris is the hottest spot in the universe.

Del mismo modo que es mejor iluminar que solamente brillar, asimismo es cosa más grande dar a los demás las cosas contempladas que solamente contemplarlas
