• Art is life seen through man's inner craving for perfection and beauty--
  his escape from the sordid realities of life into a world of his imagining. Art accounts for at least a third of our civilization,
  and it is one of the artist's principal duties to do more than merely record life or nature.
  To the artist is given the privilege of pointing the way and inspiring towards a better life.

• Is it easy to love God' asks an old author. 'It is easy,' he replies, 'to those who do it.' I have included two Graces under the word Charity. But God can give a third.
