Compassion

Picasso supposedly said he never saw a painting he didn’t like.
‘Oh come on, you’re not Will Rogers,’ people said to him,
but Picasso said: ‘No, I mean it, I’ll even go to a hotel someplace
and see a little painting of flowers, and I think,
just to get the paint from here to there, well,
my heart goes out to the artist who did it.’
