Summary

This quote, often attributed to the philosopher and novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, suggests that science and art have different but equally crucial roles in human society. Science focuses on exploring and uncovering truths that are deemed important by a particular time and society, providing knowledge that appeals to rationality and understanding. On the other hand, art takes these truths discovered by science and communicates them on a deeper level, appealing to human emotions and evoking a sense of understanding and connection that goes beyond rationality. In this way, art acts as a bridge between the intellectual realm of science and the emotional realm of human experience.
