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.

Perhaps art can show something of that, can glimpse the future possibilities pregnant within the present time. — N. T. Wright
