Quote by Robert Wilson

The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.

Summary

This quote suggests that true appreciation of a great work of art lies in its enduring ability to evoke curiosity, interpretation, and an ever-changing understanding. Once an individual believes they have full comprehension of it, the art loses its essence and becomes stale. The beauty of art lies in its ability to continually challenge and provoke new thoughts, emotions, and perspectives, making it a living entity that evolves alongside the viewer's own growth and experiences. A great work of art remains powerful and relevant precisely because it defies definite comprehension, inviting exploration and personal connection.

Nothing in the entire universe ever perishes, believe me, but things vary, and adopt a new form. The phrase being born is used for beginning to be something different from what one was before, while dying means ceasing to be the same. Though this thing may pass into that, and that into this, yet the sums of things remains unchanged.
