JFKPSA

[Sample: John F. Kennedy] The artist, however faithful to his personal vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility Against an intrusive society and an officious state He has, as Frost said, a lover's quarrel with the world In pursuing his perceptions of reality He must often sail against the currents of his time This is not a popular role Yet in retrospect, we see how the artist's fidelity has strengthened the fibre of our national life If sometimes our great artists have been the most critical of our society It is because their sensitivity And their concern for justice, which must motivate any true artist Makes him aware that our Nation falls short of its highest potential I see little of more importance to the future of our country and our civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist If art is to nourish the roots of our culture Society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda, it is a form of truth For poets, there is nothing worse for our trade than to be in style In free society art is not a weapon and it does not belong to the spheres of polemic and ideology 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 [Kid Cudi] Hey let's have some fun this time
