Life too near paralyses art.

Life too near paralyses art.

Summary

This quote suggests that being too consumed by the demands and pressures of everyday life can hinder or limit one's ability to engage in artistic pursuits. When we are constantly caught up in the practicalities and obligations of our existence, it becomes challenging to find the time, inspiration, and emotional freedom necessary to express ourselves creatively. It implies that in order to fully explore and cultivate our artistic talents, we must create space and balance in our lives that allows for the exploration and expression of our artistic impulses.
