In the name of art…
” Imaginary evil is romantic and varied: real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring: real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating. Therefore “imaginative literature” is usually either boring or immoral (or a mixture of both). It only escapes from these alternatives if in some way it passes over to the side of reality through the power of art- and only genius can do that.”
It’s been such a long time since I wrote my last journal. Life takes one to such expected journeys sometimes. Along the way I unwillingly forget to keep a track of my thoughts, changes and even revolutions. To remind of some fragments of thoughts, I would like to start with one of my favorite quotations.
Art.
The power of art is so enormous. This perfect rapport of science and beauty transcends all the reasons, metaphysics, words… spoken… unspoken…
But art can be intoxicating in a most dangerous way without acknowledging its creator. Artist who is drawn into its beauty can become a slave of its endless wonder of mystery.
Ars longa vita brevis. Yes, true, but what’s important has nothing to do with its longevity.
Art…
Beauty without truth is so shallow that it is nauseating.
What is truth to you, dear friend?
