Mit flgd. Zitat von Iris Murdoch aus The Sublime and the Good gehe ich d’accord:

„The enemies of art and of morals, the enemies that is of love, are the same: social convention and neurosis. One may fail to see the individual … because we are ourselves sunk in a social whole which we allow uncritically to determine our reactions, or because we see each other exclusively as so determined. Or we may fail to see the individual because we are completely enclosed in a fantasy world of our own into which we try to draw things from outside, not grasping their reality and independence, making them into dream objects of our own. Fantasy, the enemy of art, is the enemy of true imagination: Love, an exercise of the imagination … The exercise of overcoming one’s self, of the expulsion of fantasy and convention … is indeed exhilarating. It is also, if we perform it properly which we hardly ever do, painful.“
