If I have to recommend one writer, it would be him: Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Simply, magnificent! And my favorite book is : The Brothers Karamazov! It is a masterpiece.
Dostoyevsky wrote this quote in his book: The Idiot.
It can be understood as God. God is beauty. So, God/beauty will save the world.
It can also be understood as love. Love is beauty and only love is what we need to make the world a better place.
What about beauty and aesthetics? Is art the world savior? It can also be an interpretation for this quote.
Now things get complicated with this quote taken from: The Brothers Karamazov:
So, how would the world be saved? If God and the devil are fighting in “beauty” which is in the heart of the man, does it mean love will save us all? This quotes describes to me the tragic human condition. What do you say on this?
I love the sentiment behind this. It’s ambiguous and clarifying at the same time. I think it’s a matter of perspective.
