Ambitious Quote by Vik Muniz

“I think I'm an ambitious artist but you have to understand the measure of your influence on people. You're not going to change people's lives with your art. What you do is you give them a little pat so that you change the course of the direction that they're going.” quote by Vik Muniz — Download Open image
