Dillard/Giacometti

 In For the Time Being, Annie Dillard quotes Giacometti: “The more I work, the more I see things differently, that is, everything gains in grandeur every day, becomes more and more unknown, more and more beautiful. The closer I come, the grander it is, the more remote it is.”

This quote resonates so strongly with me and reminds me why we need artists. Why the fascination with celebrities, influencers and athletes will not bring us all we need.
