Beauty and politics

 'Beauty is a most important thing in political exercise, because beauty unifies humankind. Religion divides humankind, as do languages and social traditions, but beauty unifies the whole of the human family in one admiring being, in a single entity.'

The architect and pioneer in new classicism and urban renewal Léon Krier.
