If there is no dance, there is not music.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Dance and music are intrinsically connected forms of expression; one cannot exist meaningfully without the other.
This quote by Tito Puente emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between dance and music. It suggests that music finds its fullest expression in movement, and without the dance, the music loses its celebratory and joyous essence. The quote celebrates the idea that these two art forms complement each other, creating a richer cultural experience that speaks to the emotions and spirit of humanity.

Nobody really needs a painting. It's something you kind of create value for in a way that you don't with a company. It's an act of collective faith what an object is worth. Maintaining that value system is part of what a dealer does, not just making a transaction but making sure that important art feels important.

Art is what we call...the thing an artist does. It's not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the ...eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist.
