Webnesia: Positive aesthetic values <font style="font-size:0.7em; font-variant:normal;">(Kamienska)</font>

If you aspire to anything better than politics, expect no cooperation from men. They will not further anything good. You must prevail of your own force, as a plant springs and grows by its own vitality.
—Henry David Thoreau

Positive aesthetic values (Kamienska)

Art relies on the conversion of even flaws and defects into positive aesthetic values.

We cling to words like drowning men to straws. But still we drown, we drown.

Anna Kamienska, from In That Great River: A Notebook
