"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
