Dr. Denton D. and Michelle Weiss,
Cofounders of "Bella Vitae" (Beautiful Living)
"Beauty is a key to the mystery and a call to transcendence. It is an invitation to savor life and to dream of the future. That is why the beauty of created things can never fully satisfy. It stirs that hidden nostalgia for God, which a lover of beauty like Saint Augustine could express in incomparable terms: "Late have I loved you, beauty so old and so new: late have I loved you!"
Karol Wojtya (The late Servant of God, Pope John Paul II)
