"We believe that events such as these are allowed to cost money, a lot of money even, if need be. After all that is what is takes for art to take what is rightfully hers, when people consider art as indispensable as bread and water." 
- Chris Matser (1904-1973), mayor of Arnhem, in response to Sonsbeek '49 and '52. 

“Poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into language, then into idea, then into more tangible action.”
– Audre Lorde (1934-1992).
