After reading an older article about Saint Teresa of Calcutta, I realized that her selfless acts of love among the diseased and poverty stricken exemplify iconic realism. As a Catholic nun, she epitomized the concept of purity in mind and body. Yet, there she was, providing comfort to a population from which many would rather turn away. Through her presence in this challenging setting, she demonstrated the necessity for and beauty of human compassion.
One of my favorite quotes from this brilliant woman is as follows: "We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.”
