Is that support for the arts in your pocket? Or are you just happy to see me?
I hadn’t noticed this until one of my friends updated his Facebook status to “get a magnifying lens and read the quote on the back-left of any $20 bill. “Could we ever know each other in the slightest without the arts?”" about five times within the span of 10 minutes.
The quote, according to another friend, is from Gabrielle Roy’s novel La Montagne secrète (The Hidden Mountain). The bill also features the artwork of Bill Reid.
