One of the great ironies of literary history is that one of the greatest English language authors was actually a transplanted Pole. But Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) employed his adopted language to create some of the greatest novels and short stories of all time. Here's his comment on the purpose of art:

"...art itself may be defined as a single-minded attempt
to render the highest kind of justice to the visible
universe, by bringing to light the truth, manifold
and one, underlying its every aspect."
