Art Transgression Majors

More From E. L. Doctorow

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

I know that every difficulty we face in life, even those that come from our own negligence or even transgression, can be turned by the lord into growth experiences, a virtual ladder upward. i certainly do not recommend transgression as a path to growth. it is painful, difficult, and so totally unnecessary. it is far wiser and so much easier to move forward in righteousness. but through proper repentance, faith in the lord jesus christ, and obedience to his commandments, even the disappointment that comes from transgression can be converted into a return to happiness.

No degree of prosperity could justify the accumulation of large amounts of highly toxic substances which nobody knows how to make safe and which remain an incalculable danger to the whole of creation for historical or even geological ages. to do such a thing is a transgression against life itself, a transgression infinitely more serious than any crime perpetrated by man. the idea that a civilization could sustain itself on such a transgression is an ethical, spiritual, and metaphysical monstrosity. it means conducting the economical affairs of man as if people did not matter at all.

If god causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that he makes is good and will stand forever. if the transgression of god's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. it is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine mind, which causes the belief of sickness. the remedy is truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.

It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.
Art
All art is propaganda. ... the only difference is the kind of propaganda. since art is essential for human life, it can't just belong to the few. art is the universal language, and it belongs to all mankind. all painters have been propagandists or else they have not been painters. ... every artist who has been worth anything in art has been such a propagandist. ... every strong artist has been a propagandist. i want to be a propagandist and i want to be nothing else. ... i want to use my art as a weapon.

But to admire a strong person and to live under that strong person’s thumb are two different things.

If i look at the really important questions in [middle east] region, i see iran, where there is a strong desire for a freer society and where people are repressed by a small group of ayatollahs. i see syria, where we can see a similar desire of the people to be free. these two countries fund hezbollah and other terrorist organizations and are hurting our efforts in afghanistan and have been extremely harmful in iraq. then i also see large, important countries such as egypt and saudi arabia.
