Since art is considered a noble field, art should be used to promote all that is good and noble, and in a noble fashion.

Know you not that a good man does nothing for appearance sake, but for the sake of having done right?

Imagine that the keeper of a huge, strong beast notices what makes it angry, what it desires, how it has to be approached and handled, the circumstances and the conditions under which it becomes particularly fierce or calm, what provokes its typical cries, and what tones of voice make it gentle or wild. Once he's spent enough time in the creature's company to acquire all this information, he calls it knowledge, forms it into a systematic branch of expertise, and starts to teach it, despite total ignorance, in fact, about which of the creature's attitudes and desires is commendable or deplorable, good or bad, moral or immoral. His usage of all these terms simply conforms to the great beast's attitudes, and he describes things as good or bad according to its likes and dislikes, and can't justify his usage of the terms any further, but describes as right and good the things which are merely indispensable, since he hasn't realised and can't explain to anyone else how vast a gulf there is between necessity and goodness.

Riyakârlık aşağılığın en son haddidir. Sahiden iyi insanlar, kötüler hakkında laf söylemezlerdi. (...) Riyayı kaldırırsanız mesele yoktur, kötüler hemen saflarına iyiyi alıverirler. Önemli olan kötülüğü iyilikle beraber ortadan kaldırmaktır. O zaman insanlık denilen şey kafasını kaldırır: 'Durun bakalım', der, 'biz de varız.
Sait Faik AbasıyanıkOh, but I was an idiot. Wanting to be whatever magic she waited for, when I had no magic - only darkness or death to give. But it seemed in that one instant, when she turned to discover what was behind her, that I could have brought happiness to at least one mortal. Me and my dreams of goodness. I had always been a fool for them.

Goodness preaches constantly, wants to change humanity, to work miracles from one day to the next, makes a show of its substance, wants to question essentials, but in fact is most often just hollow, lacking in substance, essence itself. A good word which has not yet been put into practice holds within itself every virgin possibility and is more than a good deed, the outcome of which is dubious, its effect arguable. In general words are always more than deeds.
