Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon. – Andre Gide
Yes, both ‘Being Human’ and ‘Outlander’ are known for their loyal fanbases. The beauty of both of those jobs was that the characters were very removed from me.

When a moment in front of me appears to be particularly special, whether it be by beauty or experience, I capture it.

I envy those old Greek bathers, into whose hands were delivered Pericles, and Alcibiades, and the perfect models of Phidias.

True, when you behold Damascus from the Salahiyeh, the last slope of the Anti-Lebanon, it is the realization of all that you have dreamed of Oriental splendor; the world has no picture more dazzling. It is Beauty carried to the Sublime, as I have felt when overlooking some boundless forest of palms within the tropics. – Bayard Taylor

When I first heard that they were going to make ‘Beauty and the Beast’ at Disney, I was like, ‘Oh, God, there’s no way I’m going to see that movie,’ because I knew what that movie was, was just two people sitting down to dinner over and over and over again. But then when I went to see it, it was like, ‘Oh, they made it work.’ – Byron Howard
Do not try to push your way through to the front ranks of your profession; do not run after distinctions and rewards; but do your utmost to find an entry into the world of beauty. – Constantin Stanislavski
