Jennifer DonnellyIt's a good thing you and your pills weren't around a few hundred years ago or there never would have been a Vermeer or a Caravaggio. You'd have drugged "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and "The Taking of Christ" right the hell out of them.
About This Quote
We all know the power of art in helping us to see the beauty in life. The act of painting, sculpting, and writing are all forms of expression that give us the ability to share with others our understanding of life. Without these creative works, we would all live in a world where everything is grey and colorless. These works give us an opportunity to see the world through someone else's eyes and bring to light the beauty in things we would otherwise overlook.
