Summary

This quote suggests that true appreciation of a great work of art lies in its enduring ability to evoke curiosity, interpretation, and an ever-changing understanding. Once an individual believes they have full comprehension of it, the art loses its essence and becomes stale. The beauty of art lies in its ability to continually challenge and provoke new thoughts, emotions, and perspectives, making it a living entity that evolves alongside the viewer's own growth and experiences. A great work of art remains powerful and relevant precisely because it defies definite comprehension, inviting exploration and personal connection.

Children are born true scientists. They spontaneously experiment and experience and reexperience again. They select, combine, and test, seeking to find order in their experiences - which is the mostest? which is the leastest? They smell, taste, bite, and touch-test for hardness, softness, springiness, roughness, smoothness, coldness, warmness: the heft, shake, punch, squeeze, push, crush, rub, and try to pull things apart.
