[…] This returns me to Oscar Wild`s remark that all art is absolutely useless. Put usefulness first and you lose it, put beauty first and what you do will be useful forever. It turns out that nothing is more useful than the useless. We see this in traditional architecture with its decorative details. Ornaments liberate us from the tyranny of the useful and satisfy our need for harmony. In a strange way, they make us feel at home. - Sir Roger Scruton.

Beauty is vanishing from the world because we act as if it does not matter.

Great men to it.

“The Arts Council exists to subsidise those artists, writers and musicians whose work is important. But how do bureaucrats decide that something is important? The culture tells them that a work is important if it is original, and the proof that a work is original is that the public doesn't like it. Besides, if the public did like it, why would it need a subsidy? Official patronage therefore inevitably favours works that are arcane, excruciating or meaningless over those that have real and lasting appeal.”

- Sir Roger Scruton.
