A Quote About Art From Leonard Bernstein

“The point is, art never stopped a war and never got anybody a job. That was never its function. Art cannot change events. But it can change people. It can affect people so that they are changed … because people are changed by art – enriched, ennobled, encouraged – they then act in a way that may affect the course of events.”  – Leonard Bernstein, from the documentary film “Bernstein’s Wall.”
