Art for Art's Sake

...Someone has said somewhere that literature and the arts influence morals. Whoever he was, he was undoubtedly a great fool. It was like saying green peas make the spring grow, whereas peas grow because it is spring...Nothing that is beautiful is indispensable to life. You might suppress the flowers, and the world would not suffer materially; yet who would wish that there were no flowers? I would rather give up potatoes that roses...

***There is nothing truly beautiful but that which can never be of any use whatsoever; everything useful is ugly, for it is the expression of some need, and man's needs are ignoble and disgusting like his own poor infirm nature...***

why can't we all "just get along?"

"All things come into being from conflict of opposites."

"knowing"

Human knowledge exists under the power of divine Wisdom.

necessary or conditioned?

Are we the necessary cause of the reality or have we
been conditioned, throughout history, throughout our past by the
world around us?.....

Perhaps it is a give and take. But how can you set any objective
truth if everything is a push and pull...if we are subconsciously
surrendering to our surroundings and they are in turn, doing the same?
