Quote by T. S. Eliot

Art never improves, but... the material of art is never quite the same.

Art never improves, but... the material of art is never quit

Summary

This quote suggests that while art itself does not necessarily become better over time, the medium or materials used in art continuously evolve. The improvement or advancement seen in the field of art lies in the changing tools, techniques, and materials employed by artists rather than in the inherent quality or value of their artwork. This idea emphasizes the notion that art is constantly influenced and shaped by the innovative materials and methods available to artists, allowing for new possibilities and interpretations in their creative expressions.

Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
