Neils Bohr: "The Enrichment Which Art Can Give Us..."

Mar 10, 2024

The Enrichment Which Art Can Give Us...

originates in its power to remind us of harmonies beyond the grasp of systematic analysis.

Literary, pictorial and musical art may be said to form a renunciation of definition, characteristic of scientific communication, leaves fantasy a freer display.

In particular, in poetry this purpose is achieved by the juxtaposition of words relating to shifting observational situation, thereby emotionally uniting manifold aspects of human knowledge.

~ Neils Bohr

Danish Physicist and Noble Prize Winner (1885 - 1962)

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

- Aristotle
