“Tolstoy has said, ‘Whether the so-called educated people of our time like it or not, they have to accept religion as the necessary guide for progress, even in our time. And if a religious sensibility exists among us, our art must also be judged according to this sensibility.’ He has also said, ‘Art is an element of human life, which transfers the comprehensions of a rational mind to the realm of the senses.’

Those who, faced with a brutal assault on their people, waged by a ruthless enemy armed to the teeth, kept their feelings hidden in the prison of their own thoughts, were either not with the people, or lacked artistry.”
