Essence of Art
The real essence of art turned out not to be something
high up and far off. It was right inside my ordinary
daily self. The very way one greets people and expresses
oneself is art. If a musician wants to become a fine
artist he must first become a finer person. If he does
this, his worth will appear. It will appear in everything
he does, even in what he writes. Art is not in some
far-off place. A work of art is the expression of one's
whole personality, sensibility and ability.
--Shinichi Suzuki
