Art is science made clear. -- Jean Cocteau.
Found today in Google's 'quote of the day' feature.
oh? would have thought it was the other way round - art being obscure and science crystal clear and all that...? what do you think of this quote?
Charu, I just found this quote full of hubris. I should deal with this guy carefully, though. He is the author of this as well: "The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood."
yes, and arcane... I was wondering why you felt it was impressive or interetsing enough to feature on your blog :)
I would say it is the other way round - Science is art made clear. That makes it more logical.
Samudrika: Yes. I posted it here because I found it so interesting that an artist can get away with such inflated hubris.
