Quote by Isaac Newton

Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.

Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.

Summary

This quote suggests that mistakes or flaws in a work of art should not be blamed on the art itself but rather on the artists who created it. It emphasizes the idea that errors are a result of human imperfections rather than inherent flaws within the artistic medium or process. It implies that the quality of a work depends on the skill and craftsmanship of the creator, and if errors are present, they are a reflection of the artist's shortcomings rather than an indictment of the art form itself.

In the Second World War he took no public part, having escaped to a neutral country just before its outbreak. In private conversation he was wont to say that homicidal lunatics were well employed in killing each other, but that sensible men would keep out of their way while they were doing it. Fortunately this outlook, which is reminiscent of Bentham, has become rare in this age, which recognizes that heroism has a value independent of its utility. The Last Survivor of a Dead Epoch
