Source of Quotation on "Beauty"

Factual Questions

I found a couple of references attributing it to an Al Bernstein but nothing to indicate who he is or what work it’s from.

This is who he is.

I’m sure this guy is all quite irrelevant to the original quote. This all seems to have to do with selling a book of sayings that are supposed to improve your business or something.
