About This Quote
The quote “You see, to find the brightest wisdom one must pass through the darkest zones. And through the darkest zones there can be no guide. No guide, that is, but courage,” by Maurice Merleau-Ponty is about how to accept pain in order to find the beauty that lies within it. To find beauty, you have to have some darkness in your life.
That's how art is created - people who are able to look past the darkness and embrace it in order to create something beautiful out of it. And if you're not able to look past the darkness, you won't be able to create anything at all.
