President John F. Kennedy (1961)
“We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth….”
“….It may be different elsewhere. But democratic society – in it, the highest duty of the writer, the composer, the artist is to remain true to himself and to let the chips fall where they may.”
