What is ';We live only to discover beauty, all else is a form of waiting.'; in Latin?

The famous quote from Khalil Gibran. It's amazing. Anyone have the Latin translation?What is ';We live only to discover beauty, all else is a form of waiting.'; in Latin?
The first part could be rendered by the following..


Vivimus solum ad pulchra invenienda ~ literally, ';we live only towards beautiful things being found





or ~ Vivimus tantum ut pulchra inveniamus ~ we live only that we may find beautiful things.





The second part could be interpreted as ';Meanwhile we seem to be waiting'; which is ~ Interea manere videmur.





A more literal option is ';However what remains is a kind of waiting'; ~ Reliquum autem est exspectatio quaedam.
