Wherever art appears, life disappears.

Wherever art appears, life disappears.

Summary

This quote suggests that when art is present, it tends to take precedence over everyday life.

And she is so full of peace that thought she pressed her flesh, her nerves, her bones, no other thing come forth from them than peace.
