It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it. Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious. Jean Cocteau Art is more Godlike than science.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. And what comes with that self-confidence is an essential indifference to what the voices of the time may say about him. He knows what his value is and that the future will agree. If the woman artist has been trained to believe that the activities of motherhood are trivial, tangential to the main issues of life, irrelevant to the great themes of literature, she should untrain herself. Art is the essence of awareness.
