Art is an effort to create, beside the real world, a more human world

The art of growing old is the art of being regarded by the oncoming generations as a support and not as a stumbling-block.

The art of reading is in great part that of acquiring a better understanding of life from one's encounter with it in a book.

Art is an effort to create, beside the real world, a more humane world.

People are discontent; men are troubled; and the literature is excellent.
