The question of truth is forever in the air, and people look for it with particular fervor in art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
When one lives in a society where people can no longer rely on the institutions to tell them the truth, the truth must come from culture and art.
The kinds of truth that art gives us many, many times are small truths. They don't have the resonance of an encyclical from the Pope stating an eternal truth, but they partake of the quality of eternity. There is a sort of timeless delight in them.
Art is something special because it can come up with a way of approaching the truth that is a little to the side.
Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
Truth is not a matter of fact but a state of harmony with progress and hope. Enveloped only in its wings will we ever soar to the promise of our greater selves.
Truth is one forever absolute, but opinion is truth filtered through the moods, the blood, the disposition of the spectator.
It is the glory and good of Art, That Art remains the one way possible Of speaking truth, to mouths like mine at least.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.
