Donna Tartt Quotes

He Laughed. "What's To Say? Great Paintings - People Flock To See Them, They Draw Crowds, They're Reproduced Endlessly On Coffee Mugs And Mouse Pads And Anything-you-like. And, I Count Myself In The Following, You Can Have A Lifetime Of Perfectly Sincere Museum-going Where You Traipse Around Enjoying Everything And Then Go Out And Have Some Lunch. But - " Crossing Back To The Table To Sit Again " - If A Painting Really Works Down In Your Heart And Changes The Way You See, And Think, And Feel, You Don't Think, 'oh, I Love This Picture Because It's Universal.' 'I Love This Painting Because It Speaks To All Mankind.' That's Not The Reason Anyone Loves A Piece Of Art. It's A Secret Whisper From An Alleyway. Psst, You. Hey Kid. Yes You." Fingertip Gliding Over The Faded-out Photo - The Conservator's Touch, A Touch-without-touching, A Communion Wafer's Space Between The Surface And His Forefinger.
