I love Paul Gallico's writing and have been searching for months for a quotation from his lovely story, "Ludmilla" about beauty...It begins with something like, "There is no sin in wanting to be beautiful...for God loves beauty and created so much of it..."
I can't find that quotation and would be so grateful if anyone else can!!
In the meantime...Paul Gallico also wrote this piece of loveliness...
"A prayer may be a wordless inner longing, a sudden outpouring of love, a yearning within the soul to be for a moment united with the infinite and the good, an humbleness that needs no abasement or speech to express, a cry in the darkness for help when all seems lost, a song, a poem, a kind deed, a reaching for beauty or the strong, quiet inner raffirmation of faith. A prayer in fact can be anything that is created of God that turns to God."
