Every second in the air in Paris is art.

Robert Black
About This Quote

When the great French painter, Edgar Degas, once described Paris as “the city of light,” he was really referring to the light that shines through the windows of the city’s many cafés. With all the talk about art in this modern age, it is easy to forget that there is still something -- or someone -- who is producing the art that moves us. And it is just as easy to overlook someone who is simply doing his job. That’s why New York City is worth more than any painting. It is worth more than every second in the air in Paris.
