From the Inner Game of Tennis (p139):
One day we get out of bed and the world looks full of beauty and interest; the next day everything appears drab. In each case the difference lies in our state of consciousness which is the determining factor in our appreciation of the beautiful, the true, or the loving. A man may own an exquisite oil painting, but if he can’t appreiciate it’s beauty, how valuable really is that painting to him? Another man may own nothing beautiful, but if his consciousness is attuned to beauty, he is rich because he will always be surrounded by beauty.
