"The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly"

- Aldous Huxley

About this Quote

This quote by Aldous Huxley speaks with the power of art to transport us to a different world of thought and feeling. He suggests that the finest masterpieces are valuable because they permit us to experience a level of subtlety and nobility that we might not have the ability to gain access to in our daily lives. Through art, we can gain a glance of what it seems like to think and feel in a more profound way. Huxley indicates that this experience is only imperfect and fleeting, however it is still valuable. Art can offer us with a sense of appeal and insight that can be difficult to find in our day-to-day lives. By engaging with art, we can get a much deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
