Running Faster Than Beauty
I found a scrap of paper in my files a few months ago that has me intrigued. I don’t know when I wrote it down — a few years ago, I believe. It says this:
“You have to run faster than beauty, so it looks like you’re turning your back on it.”
—Picasso
Great, huh? I’m not even sure I totally understand what it means, but it’s brilliant. And it sure sounds like something Picasso would have said. But I can find no verification that he actually did say it. Can anyone out there help corroborate it, so I can add it to my list?
