“What I have in mind is that art may be bad, good or indifferent, but, whatever adjective is used, we must call it art, and bad art is still art in the same way that a bad emotion is still an emotion.” WayMindMayArtStillsUsedEmotionArt IsIndifferentAdjectives Book:The complete works of Marcel Duchamp Source: The complete works of Marcel Duchamp
“The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring. Paintings of Moreau are paintings of ideas. The deepest poetry of Shelley, the words of Hamlet bring our mind into contact with the eternal wisdom; Plato's world of ideas. All the rest is the speculation of schoolboys for schoolboys.” WorldMindDoeArtIdeasPaintingEternalSpringArt IsSupremeContactWorks Of ArtPlatoSpeculationPlato SShelley Book:Ulysses Source: Ulysses
“Beware, I pray thee, of presuming that thou art saved. If thy heart be renewed, if thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying "I am saved" is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.” IfsMindHeartMayArtReasonSpiritHateBornReligiousPrayerPrayingHolyArt IsAnd LoveSavedTheeHoly SpiritRejoiceInwardAssuranceI PrayAssertionThoroughGodlinessBorn AgainNo LoveMind ChangingPresuming Author:Charles Spurgeon

“The transition from Religion to Scientific contemplation is a violent, dangerous leap, which is not to be recommended. In order to make this transition, art is far rather to be employed to relieve the mind overburdened with emotions. Out of the illogical comes much good. It is so firmly rooted in the passions, in language, in art, in religion, and generally in everything which gives value to life. It is only the naive people who can believe that the nature of man can be changed into a purely logical one. We have yet to learn that others can suffer, and this can never be completely learned.” PeopleMenGivingMindBelieveArtSufferingValuesOrderPassionLanguageEmotionAtheismDangerousChangedArt IsViolentContemplationLogicalLeapTransitionRootedEmployedNaiveAgnosticismNature Of ManIllogical Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
