"Beauty Will Save the World"

In 'The Idiot' by Dostoevsky, Prince Myshkin utters this famous line. I will self-flagellate for using a Putin-loving Russian such as Fyodor M. once this is published, but it should serve the purpose.

"There seems to be something like a Gresham's law[1] of cultural evolution according to which the oversimplified ideas will always displace the sophisticated and the vulgar and then hateful will always displace the beautiful.

And yet the beautiful persists." ~ Gregory Bateson
