N. T. Wright Quotes
The Point Is This. The Arts Are Not The Pretty But Irrelevant Bits Around The Border Of Reality. They Are The Highways Into The Center Of A Reality Which Cannot Be Glimpsed, Let Alone Grasped, Any Other Way. The Present World Is Good, But Broken And In Any Case Incomplete; Art Of All Kinds Enables Us To Understand That Paradox In Its Many Dimensions. But The Present World Is Also Designed For Something Which Has Not Yet Happened. It Is Like A Violin Waiting To Be Played: Beautiful To Look At, Graceful To Hold-and Yet If You'd Never Heard One In The Hands Of A Musician, You Wouldn't Believe The New Dimensions Of Beauty Yet To Be Revealed. Perhaps Art Can Show Something Of That, Can Glimpse The Future Possibilities Pregnant Within The Present Time.
