Kurt Vonnegut Jr.What you respond to in any work of art is the artist's struggle against his or her limitations
About This Quote
"What you respond to in any work of art is the artist's struggle against his or her limitations" says that the artist who creates the painting, the love poem or the novel is not limited by his or her own limitations. The artist can create anything because he or she has overcome those limitations, and now is free to create anything.
