"The arts cannot thrive except where men are free to be themselves and to be in charge of the disciplines of their own energies and ardors. The conditions for democracy and for art are one and the same. What we call liberty in politics results in freedom of the arts. There can be no vitality in the works gathered in museums unless there exists the right of spontaneous life in the society in which the arts are nourished."  — Franklin Delano Roosevelt
