Who Said It?

We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.

John F. Kennedy:  “Remarks at Amherst College upon receiving an Honorary Degree,” October 26, 1963, Public Papers of the Presidents: John F. Kennedy, 1963.

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.”
