About This Quote

"This place is alive," Sunni said in wonder. "Things are moving. Inside a painting." The story goes that, one day, Sunni came across a painting by Claude Monet. He was so amazed by the beauty of the painting that he asked his wife if she could read the French writing on the back of the canvas.

She said she couldn't read it, but she told him to ask his son. So, he did, and his son said that the writing on the back of the canvas was all written in Arabic. Then, because he wanted to understand more about this wonderful world inside a painting, Sunni removed one of the nails from his house and found another world inside it.
