All Sensitive People Agree That

We All Agree Now - By 'we' I Mean Intelligent People Under Sixty - That A Work Of Art Is Like A Rose. A Rose Is Not Beautiful Because It Is Like Something Else. Neither Is A Work Of Art. Roses And Works Of Art Are Beautiful In Themselves.

The Starting-point For All Systems Of Aesthetics Must Be The Personal Experience Of A Peculiar Emotion. The Objects That Provoke This Emotion We Call Works Of Art.

It Is The Mark Of Great Art That Its Appeal Is Universal And Eternal.

Art And Relligion Are Not Professions: They Are Not Occupations For Which Men Can Be Paid. The Artist And The Saint Do What They Have To Do, Not To Make A Living, But In Obedience To Some Mysterious Necessity. They Do Not Product To Live - They Live To Produce.

All Sensitive People Agree That There Is A Peculiar Emotion Provoked By Works Of Art.
