“Art is a spiritual function of man, which aims at freeing him from life's chaos. Art is free in the use of its means in any way it likes, but is bound to its laws and to its laws alone. The minute it becomes art, it becomes much more sublime than a class distinction between proletariat and bourgeoisie.” MenWayMeanArtUseSpiritualLawClassMinutesArt IsFunctionAimChaosBoundsLikesDistinctionSublimeProletariatBourgeoisieClass Distinction Author:Kurt Schwitters
“[The 4 spiritual laws and sinner's prayer] is not the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that methodology and envangelism has done more to hurt this country than every heresy introduced by every cult combined.

“Narrative should flow as flows the brook down through the hills and the leafy woodlands...a brook that never goes straight for a minute, but goes and goes briskly, sometimes ungrammatically, and sometimes fetching a horseshoe of ¾ of a mile around and at the end of the circuit flowing within a yard of the path that it traversed an hour before; but always going and always following at least one law, always loyal to that law, the law of narrative, which has no law. Nothing to do but make the trip; the how of it is not important, so that the trip is made.” ShouldMadeImportantEndsSometimesLawHoursPathMinutesFlowFollowingMilesHillsNarrativeLoyalYardsBrooksCircuitsWoodlandHorseshoes Author:Mark Twain
