"The goal of art isn’t to attain perfection. The goal is to share who we are. And how we see the world. Artists allow us to see what we are unable to see, but somehow already know. It may be a view of the world singularly different from our own. Or one so close, it seems miraculous, as if the artist is looking through our own eyes. In either case, the artist’s perception reminds us of who we are and who we can be. One reason art resonates is because human beings are so similar. We’re attracted to the shared experience held within the work. Including the perfection in it. We recognize some part of ourselves and feel understood. And connected. - Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being"
