For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.

Interpretation
The saying expresses a consoling, almost providential symmetry between what exists in the world and the human capacity to recognize it. Beauty, truth, and love are presented as objective realities that may go unnoticed by some, yet are never wholly wasted because someone, somewhere, is fitted to perceive and welcome them. Read this way, the line encourages patience and hope: appreciation and understanding are not universal, but they are possible, and the right audience or companion may be elsewhere or later. It also implies an ethic of receptivity—cultivating the “eye,” “ear,” and “heart” that can meet beauty, truth, and love when they appear.
