The other day I was perusing one of my favorite quote websites when I stumbled upon the ancient Chinese proverb: “when you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.” I thought this was a great quote. By comparing the importance of a loaf of bread which one needs to survive to a pretty little flower, the proverb profoundly illustrates the value of art without directly stating it.
