Summary

This quote suggests that the value of exceptional works of art lies in their ability to offer us a glimpse into the experience of profound thinking and elevated emotions.

Through this, art becomes treasured as it provides a unique opportunity to connect with profound thoughts and noble feelings that may otherwise elude us in our everyday lives.
