The union of the mathematician with the poet, fervor with measure, passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal.
Art that means anything in the life of a community must bear some relation to current interpretations of the mystery of the universe. Our rigid separation of the humanities and the sciences has temporarily left our art stranded or stammering and incoherent. Both art and science ought to be blended in our early education of our children's emotions and powers of observation, and that harmony carried forward in later education.
Art alone develops weaklings, science alone, monsters. Somewhere, somehow, we must combine the two.
We should continually be striving to transform every art into a science: in the process, we advance the art.
The best artists are scientific, and the best scientists are artistic.
Working in this industry, I do feel that science and creativity turned out to be a very useful combination for me.
Arts and the Sciences are a natural symbiosis. They stem from the same human existential impulse - exploration. Exploration of what lies beneath the surface, and re-confuguration of elements of what we call reality.
