.....Art is not and has never has been subordinate to moral values. Moral values are social values; aesthetic values are human values. . . . Morality seeks to restrain the feelings; art seeks to define them by externalizing them, by giving them significant form. Morality has only one aim—the ideal good; art has quite another aim—the objective truth . . . art never changes.
..........— Sir Herbert Read (1893-1968), British writer. The Realist Heresy (1952). Quoted in The Great Thoughts (1961) by George Seldes.
