Summary
This quote suggests that the true purpose of art is to engage in storytelling that may not necessarily reflect reality but creates an alternative "beautiful" version of the truth. It argues that art should not be confined to a strict portrayal of facts but encourages a certain level of imagination and fabrication. By embracing the act of lying, art has the ability to evoke emotions, challenge perceptions, and transport individuals into imaginative worlds, making it a vital and powerful form of expression.
