"When religion becomes artificial, art has a duty……" — Richard Wagner

"When religion becomes artificial, art has a duty to rescue it. Art can show that the symbols which religions would have us believe literally true are actually figurative. Art can idealize those symbols, and so reveal the profound truths they contain."

Richard Wagner
