About This Quote
Writers wake up the world. Willa Cather said, “The writer is like a painter who can make anything look beautiful.” That’s not to say that writers are the only ones who can make anything look beautiful. Artists of all types can make things look beautiful. If you have ever been to a movie theater, seen a play, or attended a concert, you have been exposed to great art.
You may not have been aware of it at the time, but as you watched the movie, listened to the music, or watched the stage performance you were being exposed to art. The writer is just as essential as any other artist in creating beauty out of life for others.
