Princess Theodora von Auersperg

“Beauty is a form of Genius; it’s higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation.

It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime,

or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon.

It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty.

It makes Princes of those who have it.”

~ Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
