We’re more than matter. The material
universe is not the extent of the universe that man inhabits and that
he is capable of seeing and thinking about. But, it is the place he
sees and moves around in and it takes up a lot of his attention. Good
works of art bring the world of the mind, the world of moral choice
and consequence, the world of beauty, into the physical world in a
way that makes them obvious enough to be contemplated, making it
possible for man to look out and above the physical into the larger
and more important universe.
