Dear erc-ga;
Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question. I hope you find these useful and enjoyable:
?I love art because I have nothing else, because the world of my
childhood has disappeared forever. It's only through art that this
world returns to me. If I could once again be a child, I wouldn't need
art, as it would mean nothing to me. Only as a substitute for lost
childhood do I find the great joy of art, and find it again and
again.?
-- CARLOS EDMUNDO de ORY, one of the major figures of
twentieth-century Spanish literature

is animated."

"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin
-- more even than death.?Thought is subversive and revolutionary,
destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege,
established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into
the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and
free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man."
--BERTRAND RUSSELL
"The arts not only imbue our sense of sight, balance, movement, touch
and hearing, they also lift our logical minds - the traditional focus
of modern education - into the reaches of possibility, invention and
genius."
--EUGENE SCHWARTZ
Paradoxically man's capacity for aesthetic enjoyment may have been his
most practical characteristic, for it is at the root of his discovery
of the world about him, and makes him want to live."
--CYRIL STANLEY SMITH
"The task of art is to take hold of the shining, the radiance, the
manifestation, of that which as spirit weaves and lives throughout the
world. All genuine art seeks the spirit. Even when art wishes to
represent the ugly, the disagreeable, it is concerned, not with the
sensory-disagreeable as such, but with the spiritual which proclaims
its nature in the midst of unpleasantness. If the spiritual shines
through the ugly, even the ugly becomes beautiful. In art it is upon a
relation to the spiritual that beauty depends."
--RUDOLF STEINER
