Making your unknown known is the important thing.

Artists have their biggest social impact when they achieve it obliquely. If true racial reconciliation is achieved in this country, it will be through the kind of deep spiritual and emotional understanding that art can foster. You change the world by changing peoples’ hearts and imaginations.

David Brooks, “On Hillary Clinton and ISIS,” 2015
