Quote of the Week

 


Never judge a work of art by its defects.  - Washington Allston 







We too frequently judge others by how they look or sound, what they wear, or other perceived flaws.  Yet, should we look in the mirror what would we see?  We are all imperfect, and yet all works of art in our own way.

  1. Terrific quote, Linda. I always think our imperfections make us not only beautiful, but beautifully unique.

  2. I love this quote! I sometimes think about all art, novels, etc. that we miss out on because the creator was more worried about possible flaws others would find and therefore they never share their work.

  3. Talon- Indeed, we are all unique, and not like anybody else.

    meleah rebeccah- Thank you!

    junebug- The same holds true for people. Some people never share themselves for fear of being judged.
