Existential Quotes for the Day

Melancholy by Giorgio de Chirico
First quote:

Good art wounds as well as delights. It must, because our defenses against the truth are wound so tightly around us. But as art chips away at our defenses, it also opens us to healing potentialities that transcend intellectual games and ego-preserving strategies.
- Rollo May, 1985, My Quest for Beauty

Second quote:
Evil, in this system of ethics, is that which tears apart, shuts out the other person, raises barriers, sets people against each other.
-Rollo May, 1985, My Quest for Beauty
