This quote argues that the more photographic a work of art is, the less valuable it also becomes. It is also considered less powerful and creative.
What this quote most likely wants to convey is the idea that art is not meant to copy reality accurately. Instead, art is meant to be creative, innovative and emotional. It should interpret and manipulate reality, as opposed to copying it. A work of art that simply imitates reality is one that is not particularly creative.
Answer:
I kept looking over my shoulder, expecting to hear soldiers ordering me to stop or worse, opening fire on me. I never asked for any of this, I was just a simple government worker until yesterday when everything changed.
The text message came into my phone at about 10:32am while I was at my desk working and for sure, it looked like a prank text which I didn't find funny. Some minutes after that, I got a call from an unlisted number who gave me the most chilling news I've ever heard, and which I still hope against hope that somehow this is all a prank.
The text message contained information about an alleged nuclear attack against Russia in less than 16 hours, which would surely cause a world war. It said the President and some members of the military were keeping it top-secret and were going to launch the attack without letting Congress know. It was up to me to get this information to the Speaker of the House so he can hopefully stop the madness.
The sender was part of the team who were working on the nuclear weapon but he somehow smuggled the information to me.
The government were on to me and agents were already on their way to pick me up, it was a race against time to show the Speaker the text message and convince him of its authenticity and hope he acts fast.

Curley mistakenly thinks that Lennie is laughing at him with the other men, when, in fact, Lennie is not aware of the drama between Curley and Slim and is simply chuckling to himself with glee thinking about the dream farm. Curley, who has just been embarrassed in front of the workers, picks a fight with Lennie, thinking he'll earn some respect back by beating the much-larger Lennie. Lennie defends himself and attacks Curley only when George tells him to do so. In the scene, George says, "Get 'im, Lennie!" This moment feels very much like a master siccing his dog on someone. Lennie follows George's command and breaks nearly every bone in Curley's hand.
The word "attack" is an action word, so it is a verb.
