About This Quote

When this man says that you can learn more by going to the opera than you ever can reading Emerson, he is making an analogy between the power of art and the power of learning. If you are curious about things that are out of your comfort zone, books are a good place to start. But if you want to see the world, take a trip to music, dance, or theater. These are all artistic art forms that can teach you much more than reading about them. And if that is not enough, you can always expand your horizons to other arts like photography, painting, sculpting, or architecture.
