And though the really inspired artist may complain that, with the majority, piano-playing is mere strumming, and painting little more than daubing, yet, the exuberant feeling of having a share in the privileges of art is so overwhelming, that the scorn of the artist is preferred to the abandonment of art training in education. To have laid a production of your own, however poor, upon the altar of art becomes more and more the characteristic of an accomplished civilization. - Abraham Kuyper

| | | For anyone who does not know, a "cloister" is another word for a monastery. |

| | | It's been over 20 years since I read it, but I believe that the statue things was part of an attempt to show Calvin and others were mistaken about the claim of a contradiction between two of the Councils concerning icons. IIRC Calvin deals with in it in a sentence or two in Book 4 of the Institutes under Ecumenical Councils.
