"When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his
limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds
him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts,
poetry cleanses, for art establishes the basic human truths which must serve
as the touchstone of our judgement."
-John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) 35th President of the United States
