Quotes by J.F. Martel (?)

“The wonder we feel when we look at the stars is not concerned with the mechanical how of things, but with their form and purpose—the why of it all. “Why?” is a problem science can’t lick; in fact, the very nature of science prevents it from even framing the problem. What science does—and does beautifully—is to enrich the mystery by revealing ever deeper layers of the physical universe, which becomes more puzzling with each new discovery. Any adequate response to the mystery of existence must be poetic, for only the poetic can take on the “why.”
― J.F. Martel, Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice: A Treatise, Critique, and Call to Action
