Quote Explanation and Reflection

“Everything starts from a dot”

• Wassily Kandinsky

This quote is a reference towards the world and the way that ideas are formed. The quote is an indication that all events that have occurred in the past were just ideas to begin with. I imagine that Kandinsky meant that all ingenious inventions, pieces of art, etc. started out as nothing more than a dot on a piece of paper. That a single dot can lead to the beginning of something new. The quote to me, is a large indicator that people need to get up and go explore. Although the quote is presented through the voice of an artist, I think that there is a bigger picture to the quote. You’re meant for so much more in this world than just the stereotypical roles society places on men and women. To me, the quote is meant to inspire everybody. I think that because the quote is so vague, it’s meant to have a different meaning to everyone. I think that the reader of the quote is supposed to choose what the quote means to them.
