About This Quote
The greatest art in the world is not the art that has been created by rich and famous people, it is the art that comes from people who are not often recognized for their accomplishments. The people who are ridiculed for their appearance, but continue to produce great work. The people who are not accepted in their own country because of their race or religion or politics or sexual orientation. The people that are judged by their appearance, but create work that still touches the hearts of millions. If an artist does something you don't like, just think of all the times you didn't like it when someone else did it in front of you in public.
