Literature is like classical music. One can argue Beethovens 9th symphony is one of the greatest pieces of music of all time, but that doesn’t mean we all have time to sit through 70 minutes a day listening to it.

I bet important people don’t even have time to sit and watch a full movie.

You can learn far more from art than from anything else, if you try. Should important people go to religious services? Without that at arts, where do they get deep, full thoughtful perspectives on the world?

Literature, music, art; they are all intertwined aren’t they? I find at their purest form they are striving for similar goals: pulling out from our collective unconscious a life affirming theme that can be viewed in a new perspective.

  To me, art in different forms; but usually they are separated into those categories.

  I wouldn't always say 'affirming'; maybe they engage with life and usually empathize with the characters and the audience.
