The overwhelming majority of people, including Christians, are materialists. They do not believe in the power of spirit. They believe only in material power.
Nikolai BerdyaevThe essential in artistic creativity is victory over the burden of necessity. In art, man lives outside himself, outside his burdens, the burdens of life. Every creative artistic act is a partial transfiguration of life. In the artistic concept man breaks out through the heaviness of the world. In the creative-artistic attitude towards this world we catch a glimpse of another world.
Nikolai Berdyaev
