"...if either art or society is to survive the coming half-century, it will be necessary for us to reassess our values. The time is past due for us to decide whether we are a moral people, or merely a comfortable people, whether we place our own convenience over the life-struggle of [less developed] nations, whether we place the sanctity of enterprise above the debasement of our public life. If it falls to the lot of artists and poets to ask these questions, then the more honorable their role. It is not the survival of art alone that is at issue, but the survival of the free individual and a civilized society.” ------------
