Regarding the loss of paintings, statues, etc

My gut reaction is...Oh well.

The lost knowledge of history and the past from the destruction of books is the more worse crime by far, but I have to say that at the end of the day I'm not losing much sleep over that either.

I never was much of an art lover.

“My gut reaction is...Oh well.”

So, if someone takes all your nice stuff - all the stuff that took some art to produce - but leaves your books behind you’re okay with that?

I pity you. Art is the meaning of life.

-— I never was much of an art lover. ——

Hopefully because modern art is garbage.

But God is Truth. And Truth is convertible with Goodness and Beauty.

To reject beauty is to reject truth.
