Defending the brightness of the broad-day sun

"If great paintings could talk, and they saw you walking through the gallery staring at the floor, they would cry out, 'Look! Look at me.  I am the reason you are here.'  And when you look and exult in the beauty of the paintings with those around you, your joy would be full.  You would not complain that the paintings should have kept quiet.  They rescued you from wasting your visit."

-John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life
