“Einstein's space is no closer to reality than Van Gogh's sky . The glory of science is not in a truth more absolute than the truth of Bach or Tolstoy, but in the act of creation itself. The scientist's discoveries impose his own order on chaos, as the composer or painter imposes his; an order that always refers to limited aspects of reality, and is based on the observer's frame of reference, which differs from period to period as a Rembrant nude differs from a nude by Manet.” RealityOrderSpaceSkyCreationPeriodsGloryDiscoveryAspectScientistAbsolutesChaosPainterComposerObserversVansFrame Of Reference Book:The Act of Creation Source: The Act of Creation
“Our peasant music, naturally, is invariably tonal, if not always in the sense that the inflexible major and minor system is tonal. (An "atonal" folk-music, in my opinion, is unthinkable.) Since we depend upon a tonal basis of this kind in our creative work, it is quite self-evident that our works are quite pronouncedly tonal in type. I must admit, however, that there was a time when I thought I was approaching a species of twelve-tone music. Yet even in works of that period the absolute tonal foundation is unmistakable.” IfsKindSelfOpinionCreativeTypeDependsPeriodsMajorsBasesAbsolutesFoundationSpeciesFolksToneWorking ItTwelveMinorsEvidentPeasantsUnthinkableCreative WorkFolk Music Author:Bela Bartok

“The fact that a belief has a good moral effect upon a man is no evidence whatsoever in favor of its truth. I'm not contending in a dogmatic way that there is not a God. What I'm contending is that we don't know that there is. I don't like the word "absolute." I don't think there is anything absolute whatever. The moral law, for example, is always changing.
