"He thought it happier to be dead, To die for Beauty, than live for bread."

-Narcissus


The quote appears to not actually be from Narcissus. Instead, sources point to Ralph Waldo Emerson (Beauty).

 		Isn't Narcisus something to do with death?

Or.. is it the Latin for Daffodil? I forget...

 		Both?

Narcissus is the guy who was so beautiful he died because he caught his reflection on the surface of a lake and just sat there admiring himself until he starved to death.

The Greek gods dug this sort of thing, so they turned him into the flower.

A type of Daffodil is called the Poet's Narcissus. Lots of flowers are different kinds of Narcissus...es...... Narcissi? Urgh. I dunno.
