Quote by Georges Braque

Art is made to disturb, science reassures.


Art is made to disturb, science reassures.

Summary

This quote suggests that the purpose of art is to challenge and provoke, while science aims to provide comfort and stability. Art has the ability to disrupt societal norms, provoke thought, and evoke emotional responses. It seeks to push boundaries, question established ideas, and challenge the status quo. Science, on the other hand, is driven by the need for knowledge, understanding, and concrete answers. It often provides explanations and solutions that help establish order and certainty. In this contrast, art's disruptive nature encourages reflection and analysis, while science offers reassurance and stability in our understanding of the world.

The proverbial German phenomenon of the verb-at-the-end about which droll tales of absentminded professors who would begin a sentence, ramble on for an entire lecture, and then finish up by rattling off a string of verbs by which their audience, for whom the stack had long since lost its coherence, would be totally nonplussed, are told, is an excellent example of linguistic recursion.

Construed as turf, home just seems a provisional claim, a designation you make upon a place, not one it makes on you. A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling. But to me they are also inert and nostalgic and unlikely to connect you to the real, to that essence art can sometimes achieve, which is permanence.

Love is not a feeling. Love is an action, an activity. . .Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom. . . . love as the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.....true love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis, it is correct to say, 'Love is as love does'.
