Quote by T. S. Eliot

Art never improves, but... the material of art is never quite the same.

Art never improves, but... the material of art is never quit

Summary

This quote suggests that while art itself does not necessarily become better over time, the medium or materials used in art continuously evolve. The improvement or advancement seen in the field of art lies in the changing tools, techniques, and materials employed by artists rather than in the inherent quality or value of their artwork. This idea emphasizes the notion that art is constantly influenced and shaped by the innovative materials and methods available to artists, allowing for new possibilities and interpretations in their creative expressions.

I believe that the majority of times the scale tilts toward the good. It's this amazing thing that rolls on and if we get in the flow of it, that's God. And if we fight it, if we swim the other way, we're swimming away from the purest expression of this life.

Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted; it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians.
