“But art is not simply works of art; it is the spirit that knows Beauty, that has music in its being and the color of sunsets in its headkerchiefs; that can dance on a flaming world and make the world dance, too.”

“Art is the principal way in which the human mind has tried to remake the world in a way that makes sense.”
