Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Interpretation
Taste is the appreciation of beauty, while creating beauty is the essence of art.
This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson highlights the dual nature of aesthetics: taste, which refers to the subjective appreciation of beauty, and art, which is the active process of creation that brings beauty into the world. It suggests that both the appreciation of beauty and the ability to create it are fundamental aspects of human experience and expression.

I want to enhance it, I want to protect it, and I want it to be part of the conversation.
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings.
I put one questions. For whom I compose? My answer is I wanted to address to all my people. And if I write music for the Greek people because I'm Greek, I compose for all the people.
