The grandeur of real art…is to discover, grasp again and lay before us the reality from which we live so far removed and from which we become more and more separated as the formal knowledge which we substitute for it grows in thickness and imperviousness—that reality which there is grave danger we might die without ever having known and yet which is simply our life.
Marcel Proust, The Vocation of the Artist, in The Creative Vision, via Notes of the Author on The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski
