Summary

This quote suggests that our memories are malleable and subjective, as they can be influenced and altered over time. Our recollection of events and experiences is not fixed, but can be shaped by various factors such as bias, emotions, and outside influence. On the other hand, what we choose to forget becomes a permanent part of who we are, reflecting our priorities and values. It invites us to question the reliability of our memories and reminds us that our identity is shaped not only by what we remember, but also by what we choose to leave behind.

The monopoly capitalists - even while employing purely empirical methods - weave around art a complicated web which converts it into a willing tool. The superstructure of society ordains the type of art in which the artist has to be educated. Rebels are subdued by its machinery and only rare talents may create their own work. The rest become shameless hacks or are crushed.

There are problems to whose solution I would attach an infinitely greater importance than to those of mathematics, for example touching ethics, or our relation to God, or concerning our destiny and our future; but their solution lies wholly beyond us and completely outside the province of science.
