Where the world ceases to be the stage
for personal hopes and desires, where we,
as free beings, behold it in wonder,
to question and to contemplate,
there we enter the realm of art and
science. If we trace out what we
behold and experience through the
language of logic, we are doing
science; if we show it in forms
whose interrelationships are not
accessible to our conscious thought
but are intuitively recognized as
meaningful, we are doing art. Common
to both is the devotion to something
beyond the personal, removed from
the arbitrary.
-- A. Einstein.
