Human need to control beauty?

[brekketechie]

"[Humans have] the impulse not only to admire the embodiment of beauty, but to capture and posses it." - David Quammen, "The Beautiful and the Damned."

Do you agree or disagree? Do we really need to posses beauty, instead of admiring it from afar? Discuss, discuss.

i could agree with it...i mean, why not? the nature of beauty is to be something appealing, and if someone finds it appealing, why wouldn't they desire to possess it as well, making themselves appealing in doing so.

the real reason why i posted: that song by metallica... are the following lyrics in it:

"exit light, enter night. take my hand, we're off to neverneverland."

if so, then the actual title is Enter Sandman.

Yeah...you're right about the lyrics. I forgot the name, but rememebred later and my comp's been on the fritz, so I haven't changed. That and I'm lazy. :)
