Seni sama pentingnya dengan matematika. Seni memanusiakan manusia. Seni menciptakan rasa empati

Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no need of change.

Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity as by ignorance, particularly our ignorance about ourselves.

The need for beauty and the [artistic] creation which embodies it is inseparable from man, and without it man would possibly not want to live in the world.

Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.

Science, supported by humanity as a whole, has enabled us to explain that when humans became fully conscious and able to wrest management of our lives from our instincts, our instincts resisted this takeover and that it was this opposition that unavoidably led to the ‘corrupted’, upset angry, egocentric and alienated state of our human condition. Further, it is this ability now to understand how we became upset that allows that upset state to subside.
