| I think this is why the attitude behind much of Modern Art (and a good portion of the art itself) is terrible: Imagination is a thing of clear images, and the more a thing becomes
vague the less imaginative it is. Similarly, the more a thing becomes
wild and lawless the less imaginative it is. To cook a cutlet in a
really new way would be an act of imagination. But there is nothing
imaginative about eating a cutlet at the end of a string, or eating it
at the top of a tree, or catching it in one’s mouth, or consuming it
while standing on one leg. Nonsense of this sort is not imaginative for
the simple reason that it is infinite.

| "What can people mean when they say that science has disturbed their
view of sin? What sort of view of sin can they have had before science
disturbed it? Did they think that it was something to eat? When people
say that science has disturbed their faith in immortality, what do they
mean? Did they think that immortality was a gas? ... The materialism of things is on the
face of things; it does not require any science to find it out. A man
who has lived and loved falls down dead and the worms eat him. That is
Materialism if you like. That is Atheism if you like. If mankind has
believed in spite of that, it can believe in spite of anything. But why
our human lot is made any more hopeless because we know the names of
all the worms who eat him, or the names of all the parts of him that
they eat, is to a thoughtful mind somewhat difficult to discover." - G. K. Chesterton |
