For art is the great democrat, calling forth creative genius from every sector of society, disregarding race or religion or wealth or color.

I see of little more importance to the future of our country and our civilization than the full recognition of the place of the artist.”

“It is a pity to make a mystery out of what should most easily be understood. There is nothing occult about the thought that all things maybe made well or made ill.
