One needs to get dirty to become brilliant
Thinking can be an Art. With its own colors, brushes and canvasses, indispensable for the greatest Art of all, that of Life. To learn it well one needs to be acquainted with its artists and their artworks. But that is not enough. One does not become a Picasso by merely looking at his paintings. One needs to get dirty to become brilliant.
The works of fine art may indeed be more tangible. But the painter’s colors fade; sculptures can be demolished; works of art perish – ideas do not. Kill the thinker; burn his books – if his ideas touch the hearts of men they will die to keep them alive.
