nifty quote

[chelidon]

This crossed my desk today, on the theme of balance:

"There are two kinds of truth: the truth that lights the way and
the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the
second is art. Neither is independent of the other or more important than
the other. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the
truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous."
-- Raymond Chandler

Okay, then how do you explain all the postmodern crap that has taken over our museums? I don't think piles of junk fastened together and spray-painted magenta or paintings that look as if they were done by kids playing with finger paint are art.

I agree with your quote otherwise.
