“For the Navajo, beauty is not so much in the eye of the beholder as it is in the mind of the creator and the creator’s relationship to the created (that is, the transformed or the organized.) The Navajo does not look for beauty; he generates it within himself and projects it onto the universe… Beauty is not ‘out there’ to be perceived by the perceptive and appreciative viewer; it is a creation of thought.”
– Gary Witherspoon, Language and Art in the Navajo Universe
