❝ Artists use frauds to make human beings seem more wonderful than they really are. Dancers show us human beings who move much more gracefully than human beings really move. Films and books and plays show us people talking much more entertainingly than people really talk, make paltry human enterprises seem important. Singers and musicians show us human beings making sounds far more lovely than human beings really make. Architects give us temples in which something marvelous is obviously going on. Actually, practically nothing is going on. ❞

Kurt Vonnegut (via aeloquence)

Ok, huh, this is interesting. I know I’ve seen this quote before, but for once, I’m going to have to disagree with Kurt. Artists are frauds, yes, but that doesn’t make human beings any less wonderful. Artists use frauds to show human beings how wonderful they could be if they would just let themselves.
