It's easier to replace a dead man than a good picture.

Summary

This quote implies that finding a suitable replacement for a talented and skilled individual can be extremely challenging, often impossible. It suggests that the value and impact of an exceptional individual are so significant that it cannot be easily replicated or substituted. In contrast, the creation of a great piece of art or a remarkable picture is relatively easier and more achievable than replacing a unique and valuable individual.
