Why are all reflections lovelier than what we call the reality?—not so grand or so strong, it may be, but always lovelier?
George MacDonald

Lovely in death the beauteous ruin lay;
And if in death still lovely, lovelier there;
Far lovelier! pity swells the tide of love.Edward Young
But, thou art ever there, to bring
The hovering vision back, and breathe
New glories o'er the blighted spring,
And call a lovelier Life from Death,
And whisper, with a voice divine,
Of real worlds, as bright as thine.Emily Bronte
An empty canvas is a living wonder -- far lovelier than certain pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky
And lovelier things have mercy shown
To every failing but their own,
And every woe a tear can claim
Except an erring sister's shame.Lord Byron
And ne'er did Grecian chisel trace
A Nymph, a Naiad, or a Grace
Of finer form or lovelier face.Walter Scott
