If continually people look and look and always come away enriched, then it's a great work

There is no life without work, anxieties or tensions. Peace is not found in avoiding these but in understanding them and controlling their force.

Looking at art is one way of listening to God.

You are not a saint because you keep the rules and are blameless; you are a saint if you live in the real world, going out and loving the real people God has put into your life.

Walking rapidly - or even slowly - through a gallery is equivalent to browsing through a bookstore and reading the blurbs.

A country that has few museums is both materially poor and spiritually poor...Museums, like theaters and libraries, are a means to freedom.

All great art is a visual form of prayer.
