Wikiquote quote of the day:
Only out of stir and change is born new salvation. To deny that
is to deny belief in man, to turn our backs on courage! It is well,
indeed, that some should live in closed studies with the paintings and
the books of yesterday — such devoted students serve Art in their own
way. But the fresh-air world will ever want new forms. We shall not get
them without faith enough to risk the old! The good will live, the bad
will die; and tomorrow only can tell us which is which!
