Leo Tolstoy Said

I've been combing Bartlett's Quotations for some art thoughts.  Here's what Leo Tolstoy said in his 1897 non-fiction work, What is Art?

"Art is a human activity having for its purpose the transmission to others of the highest and best feelings to which men have risen."


Tolstoy also wrote War and Peace and Anna Karenina (among others) and is considered by many the world's best novelist.
