About Me

"Science had persuaded the intelligent that the universe was but the mechanical interaction of purposeless bits of matter. Thoughtful people in the nineties told themselves in all seriousness that they should no longer admire a sunset. It was nothing but the refraction of white light through dust particles in layers of air of variable density. To paint a sunset would be to compound the ignorant mistake of admiring emptiness. Common sense, the commonplace, common people were equally non-existent. The last hope for purpose and meaning was Art, which was not matter but symbol, a pure creation."

- Jacques Barzun's "The Use and Abuse of Art"
