Art has an enemy called ignorance.

Summary

This quote suggests that ignorance is a significant obstacle to appreciating and understanding art. Ignorance can arise from a lack of knowledge or an unwillingness to engage with unfamiliar or challenging ideas. When people are ignorant about art, they may fail to see its beauty, significance, and the messages it conveys. Art requires viewers to be open-minded, curious, and willing to learn, as it often challenges traditional beliefs and encourages new perspectives. By recognizing ignorance as art's enemy, the quote emphasizes the importance of educating oneself and cultivating a broader understanding and appreciation for the artistic world.

I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life. They seek position, marriage, reputation, outward success of money, and remain unhappy and neurotic even when they have attained what they were seeking.

If they are enabled to develop into more spacious personalities, the neurosis generally disappears.
