Charles Wilbert White Quote

The substance of man is such that he has to satisfy the needs of life with all his senses. His very being cries out for these senses to appropriate the true riches of life: the beauty of human relationships and dignity, of nature and art.... Without a history, a culture, without creative art inspiring these senses, mankind stumbles in a chasm of despair and pessimism

From Black Artists in America [1972]
