About This Quote
"Art has always been the raft onto which we climb to save our sanity. I don't see a different purpose for it now" is a statement that says the purpose of art is to give us something to do when we can't sleep. It's a way of life, a way of thinking, a way of living. If you look at art as a means of escape from reality, then that would be the purpose of art. If you look at it as a means of discovering reality, then that would also be the purpose of art.
