"What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only eyes, if he is a painter; or ears, if he is a musician; or a lyre in every chamber of his heart, if he is a poet; or even—if he is a boxer—just his muscles? Far from it; at the same time, he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and—with a cool indifference—to detach yourself from the very life which they bring to you so abundantly?" -Pablo Picasso
