By means of the iconic, artists express their view of reality and show their understanding of the structure of reality. They see what they know and bring this into their paintings. ... They always give us more than the facts, more than the eye can see.

Art tries, literally, to picture the things which philosophy tries to put into carefully thought-out words.

How can you say that modern art is ugly,when you worship the Lord in a building painted like this?

Art cannot be used to show the validity of Christianity; it should rather be the reverse.

We are at home here. Alienation is unnecessary. Contact with reality at a deep level is part of the Christian's life. He enters into reality, rather than escaping from it. The flight from reality is a mark of Eastern and classical mysticism, not of Christianity.

We do not know what we see, but we see what we know.

Art is a form of play rejoicing before the face of God.
