Summary

This quote emphasizes the interconnectedness of art and philosophy and asserts that both disciplines rely on each other for their full expression and understanding. Without philosophy, art may lack depth and meaning; without art, philosophy may lack the aesthetic and emotional dimensions necessary for communicating complex ideas. The quote suggests that beauty itself would suffer in a world where art and philosophy are separated, as they both contribute to the exploration and appreciation of beauty in different ways.

Since open-mindedness and experimentation are supposed to be

Since open-mindedness and experimentation are supposed to be the indispensable attributes of our 'scientific' civilization, it seems strange that so many scientists are reluctant to try out personally the hypothesis that God came first and man afterward. They prefer to believe that man is the chance product of evolution; that God, the Creator, does not exist. I can only report that I have experimented with both concepts and that, in my case, the God concept has proved to be a better basis for living than the man-centered one. Nevertheless, I would be the first to defend your right to think as you will. I simply ask this question: in your own life, have you ever really tried to think and act as though there might be a God? Have you experimented?

Bill Wilson, Letter, 1950

No explanation is required for Holy Writing. Whoso speaks truly is full of eternal life, and wonderfully related to genuine mysteries does his Writing appear to us, for it is a Concord from the Symphony of the Universe.

The job of a judge is to figure out what the law says, not what he wants it to say. There is a difference between the role of a judge and that of a policy maker... Judging requires a certain impartiality.
