More From Charles Morgan

Bohr’s standpoint, that a space-time description is impossible, i reject a limine. physics does not consist only of atomic research, science does not consist only of physics, and life does not consist only of science. the aim of atomic research is to fit our empirical knowledge concerning it into our other thinking. all of this other thinking, so far as it concerns the outer world, is active in space and time. if it cannot be fitted into space and time, then it fails in its whole aim and one does not know what purpose it really serves.

There is only one way, really, to get into a state of living, and that's live there is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. that's living. living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal it has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions. if you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. weird. but it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it. and yet it has to be said.

I know now that he who hopes to be universal in his art must plant in his own soil. great art is like a tree, which grows in a particular place and has a trunk, leaves, blossoms, boughs, fruit, and roots of its own. the more native art is, the more it belongs to the entire world, because taste is rooted in nature. when art is true, it is one with nature. this is the secret of primitive art and also of the art of the mastersmichelangelo, czanne, seurat, and renoir. the secret of my best work is that it is mexican.

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.

We must dissent from the indifference. we must dissent from the apathy. we must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust. we must dissent from a nation that has buried its head in the sand, waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. we must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education or hope. we must dissent from the poverty of vision and the absence of moral leadership. we must dissent because america can do better, because america has no choice but to do better.
