Love the Oscars? My Changing Appetite.: "Walter Bagehot said “The reason so few good books are written is that so few people who can write, know anything!” And Ingmar Bergman adds a theological insight: “Art lost its basic creative drive the moment it was separated from worship. It severed an umbilical cord and now lives its own sterile life, generating and degenerating itself. In former days, the artist remained unknown and his work was to the glory of God. He lived and died without being more or less important than other artisans: eternal values, immortality and masterpiece were terms not applicable in his case. The ability to create was a gift. In such a world flourished vulnerable and natural humility.”
