  18. Why is there beauty? Augustine (354-430)

  19. Why is there beauty? Physical beauty . . . can be appreciated only by the Augustine mind. This would be impossible, if this ‘idea’ of beauty (354-430) were not found in the mind in a more perfect form . . . But even here, if this ‘idea’ of beauty were not subject to change, one person would not be a better judge of sensible beauty than another . . . This consideration has readily persuaded men of ability and learning . . . that the original ‘idea’ is not to be found in this sphere, where it is shown to be subject to change . . .

  20. Why is there beauty? Augustine (354-430)

  21. Why is there beauty? And so they saw that there must be some being Augustine in which the original form [of beauty] resides, (354-430) unchangeable, and therefore incomparable. And they rightly believed that it is there that the origin of things is to be found, in the uncreated, which is the source of all creation. - Augustine, The City of God

  47. Is beauty “objective”? History Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the Objective mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty. One person may even Objective perceive deformity, where another is sensible of beauty; and every individual ought to acquiesce in his own sentiment, without pretending Subjective to regulate those of others - David Hume

  51. Stephen Fry

  52. Stephen Fry

  53. I’d say, “Bone cancer in children? What’s that about? How dare you? How dare you create a world to which there is such misery that is not our fault? It’s not right, it’s utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, Stephen Fry stupid God who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain?” That’s what I would say.”

  54. Stephen Fry

  55. The host, a bit taken aback, asked, “And you think you are going to get in, like that?” “No, but I wouldn’t want to,” Fry countered. “I wouldn’t want to get in on his terms. They are Stephen Fry wrong.”
