“We're so often told that art can't really change anything. But I think it can. It shapes our ethical landscapes; it opens us to the interior lives of others. It is a training ground for possibility. It makes plain inequalities, and it offers other ways of living.”
― Olivia Laing , Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency

“What is art, after all, if not simply giving out what you have inside you? Didn't it all boil down to sticking a female in front of you and painting her as you feel she is?”
― Émile Zola, The Masterpiece

“The room was filled with a kind of stillness. Not simply an absence of noise, but an accumulation of layers of silence...”
― Yôko Ogawa, The Housekeeper and the Professor

“To visit Florence without visiting churches and museums would be perverse.”
― Martin Gayford, Rendez-vous with Art
