“Civilization...is a matter of imponderables, of delight in the thins
of the mind, of love of beauty, of honor, grace, courtesy, delicate
feeling. Where imponderables, are things of first importance, there
is the height of civilization, and, if at the same time, the power of
art exists unimpaired, human life has reached a level seldom
attained and very seldom surpassed.”
