Summary

This quote suggests that art exists because life is imperfect. If life were perfect, there would be no need to create art, as it often arises from human experiences and emotions. Art is a reflection of the world's imperfections, providing an outlet for expressions and interpretations that may not be found in perfect, harmonious lives. It implies that art flourishes because it fills a void that perfection cannot, making it essential for our understanding and appreciation of life's complexities.

Some would deny any legitimate use of the word God because it has been misused so much. Certainly it is the most burdened of all human words. Precisely for that reason it is the most imperishable and unavoidable. And how much weight has all erroneous talk about God's nature and works (although there never has been nor can be any such talk that is not erroneous) compared with the one truth that all men who have addressed God really meant him? For whoever pronounces the word God and really means Thou, addresses, no matter what his delusion, the true Thou of his life that cannot be restricted by any other and to whom he stands in a relationship that includes all others.

Martin Buber, I and Thou, 1923
