Quote by William Saroyan

Doctors don't know everything really. They understand matter, not spirit. And you and I live in spirit.

Doctors don't know everything really. They understand matter

Summary

This quote suggests that doctors, despite their knowledge and expertise in the physical realm, lack understanding of spiritual matters. It implies that humans exist not only as physical beings but also possess a spiritual dimension. Therefore, this statement emphasizes the limitations of medical professionals in comprehending the intangible aspects of human life, such as emotions, consciousness, and the interconnectedness between mind and body. It highlights the importance of acknowledging and nourishing the spiritual aspect of our existence beyond what doctors can address.

It is not enough for us to prostrate ourselves under the tree which is Creation, and to contemplate its tremendous branches filled with stars. We have a duty to perform, to work upon the human soul, to defend the mystery against the miracle, to worship the incomprehensible while rejecting the absurd; to accept, in the inexplicable, only what is necessary; to dispel the superstitions that surround religion --to rid God of His Maggots.

It's great that New York has large spaces for art. But the enormous immaculate box has become a dated, even oppressive place. Many of these spaces were designed for sprawling installations, large paintings, and the Relational Aesthetics work of the past fifteen years.
