Quote by Leo Tolstoy
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.
Summary
This quote emphasizes that the value of a work of art lies in its ability to be understood and appreciated by the general public. It argues that if a piece of art is deemed excellent but remains incomprehensible to most people, it loses its practical significance. Just as food that is delicious but inaccessible to the majority of individuals loses its purpose, art must be relatable and comprehensible to be truly considered valuable.
