“In art, immorality cannot exist. Art is always sacred.”
“Good art however "immoral" is wholly a thing of virtue. Good art can not be immoral. By good art I mean art that bears true witness, I mean the art that is most precise.”
“Poetry and art and knowledge are sacred and pure.”
“Without art, we should have no notion of the sacred; without science, we should always worship false gods.”
“The definition of Christian art is to be found in its subject and its spirit. Everything, sacred and profane, belongs to it. God does not ask for “religious” art or “Catholic” art. The art he wants for himself is Art, with all its teeth.”
“I cannot conceive any work of art as having a separate existence from life itself”
