You don’t need a framework. You need a painting, not a frame.
Meaning of the quote
This quote means that you don't need a set of rules or guidelines to create something. Instead, you should focus on the actual work itself, not the structure around it. It's better to create something meaningful and beautiful, like a painting, rather than just worrying about the frame or the way it's presented.
