Oh - this is a long one. It's from
The Notebooks of Raymond Chandler
and the heading is "Great Thought" and I think, perhaps, it is...anyway, it's in keeping my latest science and art themes.
"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. Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high froceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous.
-Raymond Chandler
