The true meaning of love one's neighbor is not that it is a command from God which we are to fulfill, but that through it and in it we meet God.
It is not the nature of the task, but its consecration, that is the vital thing.

This is the eternal origin of art that a human being confronts a form that wants to become a work through him. Not a figment of his soul but something that appears to the soul and demands the soul's creative power. What is required is a deed that a man does with his whole being.
