      An artist is an expert at seeing reality, relatively speaking. It’s the power, and the exercise of it, that makes him an artist.

        If I need to buy new curtains, I’m ok with asking an artist which color to choose. However, when switching to a newer car, I think should ask a car mechanic instead.
