“Art is more than a mirror of life; it is a newly created life surrounding life, like an extra layer of quivering con- sciousness, extending and deepening our vision as it re-defines life according to its own dis- coveries, obsessions, anxieties and fabrications. By expressing the violent peacefulness of human existence, art manages to make life both more intelligible and endurable.”
-Patrick McCarthy, Handbook of Peace and Conflict Studies
