Quote by Raymond Chandler

There are two kinds of truth; the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery.

There are two kinds of truth; the truth that lights the way

Summary

This quote by Ray Bradbury highlights the importance of both science and art in our lives. It suggests that science brings us the objective truth that guides our understanding of the world, while art provides us with the emotional and subjective truths that nourish our hearts. Bradbury implies that science without art would lack meaning and relevance, reducing it to a mere practical tool. On the other hand, art without the foundation of scientific knowledge would lose its integrity, becoming shallow and lacking substance. Together, science and art offer a balanced perspective on truth and enrich our human experience.

Life is a test. ? It was designed to be so. ? It is where we taste the bitter and the sweet; where we feel pain and pleasure; where we learn right from wrong; where we pass through both darkness and light. ? It is a time to make choices. ? And through this process we form our characters - some grand and glorious, some barely decent, and others just plain monstrous.?

To begin at the beginning: It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea.
