Sacred art helps man find his own center, that kernel whose nature is to love God.

Will for the Good and love of the Beautiful are the necessary concomitants of knowledge of the True, and their repercussions are incalculable.

Love of the sacred implies love of God, and inversely, the sacred is the perfume of Heaven.

Every virtue is a participation in the Beauty of the One and a response to His Love.

Truth and Holiness: all values are in these two terms; all that we must love and all that we must be.

The beautiful is not that which we love and because we love it, but that which by its objective value obliges us to love it.

One cannot love God without fearing him, any more than one can love one's neighbor without respecting him; not to fear God is to prevent Him showing mercy.
