Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free.

About This Quote

Gandhi said, “Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free.” He was speaking about the way that everything is designed, formed, and created to bring out its best expression. If something is not getting the proper expression of its true self, it needs an artist's touch.
