So art has meaning as art because God thought it good to give art and beauty to humanity." p. 230, Modern Art and the Death of a Culture, H. R. Rookmaaker

"If we were able to break through this false duality, and see art again simply as art, with its own validity, art would regain its freedom, a part of human life, and acquire a renewed meaning in life. Neither art nor beauty needs to be justified or put on a pedestal. They are to be enjoyed and appreciated and practiced, in love and freedom, as a joy for ever, accepted as a great gift of God." p. 231, Modern Art and the Death of a Culture, H. R. Rookmaaker
