Quote by Otto Schuwdrmer

Wisdom becomes nonsense in the mouth of a fanatic.

Wisdom becomes nonsense in the mouth of a fanatic.

Summary

This quote suggests that no matter how wise or intelligent an individual may be, their words lose their value when spoken by someone who is fanatical. Fanatics are characterized by an extreme and irrational obsession with a particular belief or cause. Their narrow-mindedness and fervor prevent them from engaging in rational or balanced thinking. Hence, even wise ideas or insights, once uttered by a fanatic, are perceived as illogical or absurd due to the complete lack of critical thinking associated with fanaticism.

Widespread state control over art and culture has left no room for freedom of expression in the country. For more than 60 years, anyone with a dissenting opinion has been suppressed. Chinese art is merely a product: it avoids any meaningful engagement. There is no larger context. Its only purpose is to charm viewers with its ambiguity.
