Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-07-05:

"The artist appeals to that part of our being which is not dependent on wisdom; to 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
