Quote by Jack White

It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stocking a grocery store where people fill a pushcart. Art is a product that has no apparent need. The salesperson builds the need in the mind of the buyer.

It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stockin

Summary

This quote implies that art differs from other commodities, as it cannot be sold in the same way as groceries. Unlike tangible necessities, art does not have an obvious utility or purpose. Instead, the artist or salesperson must create a desire or appreciation for the artwork within the buyer's mind. The quote challenges the notion that art should be approached purely as a transaction, highlighting the importance of cultivating an emotional connection between the buyer and the artwork before a sale can take place.

The event of falling in love is of such a nature that we are

The event of falling in love is of such a nature that we are right to reject as intolerable the idea that it should be transitory. In one high bound it has overleaped the massive of our selfhood; it has made appetite itself altruistic, tossed personal happiness aside as a triviality and planted the interests of another in the centre of our being. Spontaneously and without effort we have fulfilled the law (towards one person) by loving our neighbour as ourselves. It is an image, a foretaste, of what we must become to all if Love Himself rules in us without a rival. It is even (well used) a preparation for that.
