“This world in which we live needs beauty in order not to sink into despair. It is beauty, like truth, which brings joy to the heart of man and is that precious fruit which resists the wear and tear of time, which unites generations and makes them share things in admiration. Remember that you are the guardians of beauty in the world.”— Pope Paul VI, Message to Artists
