"The arts are not simply skills: Their concern is the intellectual, ethical and spiritual maturity of human life.

And in a time when religious and political institutions may lose their visions of human dignity,

they are the custodians of those values which most worthily define humanity, which most sensitively define divinity,

and, in fact, may prove to be the only workable program of conservation for the human race on the planet." Robert Shaw
