Quote by Voltaire

It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.

It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work

Summary

This quote emphasizes that simply recognizing and understanding the aesthetic value of a work of art or anything visually pleasing is not enough. It suggests that true appreciation comes from experiencing an emotional connection with it. Merely observing beauty is not as significant as allowing oneself to be moved by it, evoking a deeper impact on an individual's thoughts and feelings.
