Beauty exists because perfection does not. What is beautiful and alluring is not perfect, and what mesmerises and arrests, is illusion.

“[...] I have got new curtains for my study; pure white. When I awoke this morning, I first thought it had been snowing. In my room the light was exactly as it is after the first fall of snow. I even fancied I caught the scent of snow freshly fallen. And soon it will come, the snow. One feels it in the air.
It will be welcome. Let it come. Let it fall.”
― Hjalmar Söderberg, Doctor Glas
