| QUOTATION: | To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can’t eat it. |
| ATTRIBUTION: | Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910), Russian novelist, philosopher. Published in Tolstoy on Art, ed. Aylmer Maude (1924). What Is Art? Ch. 10 (1898). |
