"In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought"
- Louis Kronenberger
About this Quote
This quote by Louis Kronenberger talks to the emotional depth and complexity that can be discovered in art. It recommends that there are specific emotions and experiences that can not be completely expressed or comprehended through reasonable idea alone. Instead, they are conveyed through the medium of art, whether it be through painting, music, or literature. These emotions are so profound and extreme that they can not be taken into words, however rather they manifest as tears. This quote highlights the power of art to tap into our inmost feelings and connect us to a shared human experience that surpasses the restrictions of language.
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time"
