Life too near paralyses art.

Life too near paralyses art.

Summary

This quote suggests that being too consumed by the demands and pressures of everyday life can hinder or limit one's ability to engage in artistic pursuits. When we are constantly caught up in the practicalities and obligations of our existence, it becomes challenging to find the time, inspiration, and emotional freedom necessary to express ourselves creatively. It implies that in order to fully explore and cultivate our artistic talents, we must create space and balance in our lives that allows for the exploration and expression of our artistic impulses.

Knowing whether or not man is free involves knowing whether he can have a master. The absurdity peculiar to this problem comes from the fact that the very notion that makes the problem of freedom possible also takes away all its meaning. For in the presence of God there is less a problem of freedom than a problem of evil. You know the alternative: either we are not free and God the all-powerful is responsible for evil. Or we are free and responsible but God is not all powerful. All the scholastic subtleties have neither added anything to nor subtracted anything from the acuteness of this paradox.
