"A work that speaks only to the intelligence of man will never reach his
heart. I think that a work of art must produce a feeling of comprehension, a flow
of attraction between public and artists, independent of its structural
implications. If this perceptible feeling of understanding and sympathy is not
established, then no explanation will help the average public to fathom the inner
meaning of the work."

-Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983) South American composer
