About This Quote
Find beauty in imperfections. Those who seek only reassurance from life will never be more than tourists—seeing everything and trying to possess what can only be felt. Life is not meant to be sugar-coated, but rather tasted for what it is worth. It is the essence of living, the very reason we are here on this planet.
When we are able to see that beauty in everything, art becomes much more meaningful. We are all connected by the same things—pain, loss, love, joy, pleasure, and so on. When we can see these commonalities in life, we are able to create beautiful art that gives value to the ordinary aspects of life.
