"هیچ چیز به اندازه هنری که به خود و نه به موضوعش علاقهمند است، اینقدر فقیر و اندوهگین نیست."
— George Santayana

Simplified Meaning:
When art only focuses on its own style and appearance without caring about what it is about, it becomes empty and sad. Imagine a painting that looks beautiful, but doesn’t tell a story or share an emotion – it might not connect with people. For example, in real life, if a musician performs flawlessly but without feeling, the performance might lack the power to move the audience. True art should be more concerned with expressing something meaningful about its subject, whether it's love, struggle, or nature. When you create art, you should care deeply about what it's saying or showing, not just how it looks or sounds. This way, your work will have heart and can touch people's lives more deeply.
