I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Art, like life, doesn't always have to make logical sense.
David Lynch's quote highlights the inherent contradiction in how people approach art compared to life. While individuals may understand that life is often irrational and chaotic, they frequently expect art to adhere to conventional logic and reason. This statement encourages a broader acceptance of the unpredictable and sometimes nonsensical nature of both experiences, urging individuals to embrace the ambiguity and subjective interpretation that art provides.

In its primary aspect, a painting has no more spiritual message than an exquisite fragment of Venetian glass. The channels by which all noble and imaginative work in painting should touch the soul are not those of the truths of lives.
