tolstoy on art III

A real work of art destroys, in the consciousness of the receiver, the separation between himself and the artist- not that alone, but also between himself and all whose minds receive this work of art. In this freeing of our personality from its separation and isolation, in this uniting of it with others, lies the chief characteristic and the great attractive force of art.
