At times and in the right context I would say yes, at least if Pirsig 
is any guide. Consider:

"Well, of course! My God! Look at it! The power of this place! 
Fantastic! What individual work of art can come anywhere near to 
equalling it? Sure: dirty, noisy, rude, dangerous, expensive. Always 
has been and probably always will be. Always been a hell-hole if what 
you're looking for is stability and serenity. . . . But if you're 
looking far .stability and serenity, go to a cemetery, don't come here! 
This is the most Dynamic place on earth!" (Lila, 17)
