“(T)he increase of known truths stimulates the investigation, establishment, and growth of the arts.”
“They seemed to forget that the increase of known truths stimulates the investigation, establishment and growth of the arts; not their dimination or destruction.”

“The truth of art lies in its power to break the monopoly of established reality to define what is real.”
“To deny sex is to deny life. To reject art is to impoverish yourself, rejecting pleasure and growth. To accept sex and art together is to add to oneself, to be positive instead of negative. Erotic cinema . . . reveals us to ourselves with increasing artistry.”
“Minority art, vernacular art, is marginal art. Only on the margins does growth occur.”
