"

In art, for man, the allusion to a divine, salvific paradise is inherently inherent, and for this alone, art stands high above everything else. And as much as festive calm is higher than all kinds of earthly turmoil, as much as creation is higher than destruction; as often as the angel, by the pure innocence of his majestic soul, stands above the immeasurable power and haughty passions of Satan; so many times the sublime work of art surpasses everything, but everything in the world.

Hungarian

"A művészetben az ember számára eleve benne rejlik az isteni, üdvözítő paradicsomra való célzás, és már ennél az egyetlen dolognál fogva is magasan fölötte áll a művészet minden egyébnek. És ahányszorta magasabban áll az ünnepi nyugalom mindenféle földi zűrzavarnál, ahányszorta magasztosabb az alkotás a rombolásnál; ahányszorta az angyal pusztán fenséges lelkének makulátlan ártatlanságával fölötte áll a sátán mérhetetlen erejének és gőgös szenvedélyeinek; annyiszorta felülmúl a művészet magasztos alkotása mindent, de mindent a világon."
