Nothing is more useful than the useless. All art is absolutely - TopicsExpress



          

Nothing is more useful than the useless. All art is absolutely useless,” wrote Oscar Wilde. For Wilde, beauty was a value higher than usefulness. People need useless things just as much, even more than, they need things with a use. And the same goes for beauty.” Put usefulness first, and you lose it. Put beauty first, and what you do will be useful forever. It turns out, nothing is more useful than the useless. Through the pursuit of beauty, we shape the world as a home, and in doing so, we both amplify our joys, and find consolation for our sorrows. The sacred and the beautiful stand side by side; two doors that open up into a single space, and in that space, we find our home.” Roger Scruton
