You are very right especially for artists,painters and writers their work of art gives a different meaning and angle to a story.
We can learn a lot from weird people. They think out of the box and they see things from a different perspective.
I learn alot from the peots and writers. These are gifted people Creativity runs in their veins . Definitely they teach us alot.
Innovators have this mindset. History itself has enough proof in the pudding. I would say. However to me they are not weird but rather they are just to focused on things. For better or worse the world changes due to their actions.
This is my new favorite quote! As an aspiring poet/writer, you can bet I love this to the moon and back!
I guess they are blessed, specially cause these days is hard to see the world with other eyes when we are trapped by technology and consumism.
I guess those that we consider as misfits think deeply about life..they are brainy and very intelligent..
We should treasure and appreciate artists more! Without them, just imagine how dark this world would be.
I couldn’t agree more. The artsy people always have a weird way of looking at the world
This quote really strikes home. Artists and writers are weird in a beautiful way hence their strange view of things.
Poetry always brings the twists of life. It makes you see life in a different way. I wonder how life could be without poetry.
