The Goal of Artistic Visionaries

"All too often we are tempted to believe that the primary goal of art is to entertain people. As I see it, a true artist is called to swim against the waves of popularity, to dive into the deep waters of human souls and to rise to the challenge of achieving the impossible. [This] is far more important than providing entertainment because the arts are able to expand our horizons, to make us visionaries."
