The Passion Of The Cries

Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

“Art is to console those who are broken by life.”

So art, whether it be painting or sculpture, poetry or music, has no other object than to brush aside the utilitarian symbols, the conventional and socially accepted generalities, in short, everything that veils reality from us, in order to bring us face to face with reality itself. It is from a misunderstanding on this point that the dispute between realism and idealism in art has arisen. Art is certainly only a more direct vision of reality.

Some beings evolve from art and some dissolve in it. - Aniket More

Being an artist means forever healing your own wounds and at the same time endlessly exposing them.

The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, ‘I was wrong’.

"People change for two main reasons: either their minds have been opened, or their hearts have been broken."
