Art is not simple truth but complex beauty. Art itself is really a form of exaggeration; and selection, which is the very spirit of art, is nothing more than an intensified mode of overemphasis.

- Oscar Wilde.

[Prithvik Sen Choudhary @PrithvikSen]

Our bodies and our souls change from moment to moment; they cease to be, and something else, like them and yet different, appears and then passes off. In a sense we are dying all the time and being reborn and this succession gives the appearance of an unbroken identity.

[Prithvik Sen Choudhary @PrithvikSen]

Reality is not something that is permanent and unchanging, but rather a kind of radiant energy, a thing of forces and movements, a succession of sequences. The idea of time is just a ‘notion abstracted by mere usage from this or that event.’

“But it may also decay if the bond between a creative minority and the majority is broken and there is a loss of social unity in society as a whole, and ultimately that minority loses its creativeness and becomes barren and sterile.”

- The Discovery of India (92)

[Prithvik Sen Choudhary @PrithvikSen]

“A creative minority is always small in numbers but, if it is in tune with the majority, and is always trying to pull the latter up, so that the gap between the lessened, a stable and progressive culture results. Without that a civilisation must inevitably decay.”

[Prithvik Sen Choudhary @PrithvikSen]

What else is wisdom? What of man’s endeavour
Or God’s high grace, so lovely and so great?
To stand from fear set free, to breathe and wait;
To hold a hand uplifted over Hate;
And shall not Loveliness be loved for ever?

Chorus from The Bacchae of Euripides, Gilbert Murray Trs

“Life is a vexatious trap; when a thinking man reaches maturity and attains to full consciousness he cannot help feeling that he is in a trap from which there is no escape.”

- Anton Chekhov in ‘Ward No. 6’

‘The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge’- (Russell, 48).

[Yuval Noah Harari @harari_yuval]

During times of conflict and suffering, we can only hope that outsiders who are not immediately affected will nurture seeds of peace. The job of intellectuals, artists and scholars is to try and go deeper. To try and see the complexity of reality, especially in today's climate of post-truth. It feels intellectually and emotionally lazy to just pick a side.

@timeshighered @elliebothwell Is the 2024 list proper and complete? I don’t see @UniUtrecht at all. It was ranked 66 in the 2023 edition and absolutely no mention of it at all this year?
