"The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel noble"
~ Aldous Huxley
The artist when creating art besides putting forth his worldview in the art does these things by taking the time to make his art high quality. This is becoming less and less the case in art as much modern art is created with no worldview, or nihilism which is not a true worldview, and without quality in mind.

Revolutions
Aldous Huxley is best known for his book, Brave New World.
"The reformer must attack simultaneously on all the fronts, from the metaphysical to the economic; if he does not; he cannot hope to achieve more than a partial success."
If we simply pass laws that are expedient at the time and don't consider the ethical and moral reasons why we pass those laws then future generations will change the laws when it becomes expedient to them.
