Art invites us to know beauty and to solicit it, summon it, from even the most tragic of circumstances.
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. – Andre Gide

It keeps you explaining over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and so you spend 20 years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn't shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Someone says you have no art so you dredge that up.
