"The Artist appeals to that part of our being which is not dependent on wisdom; that in us which is a gift and not an acquisition – and therefore more permanently enduring. He speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty and pain…"  -Joseph Conrad
