"This long and complex text serves to substantiate, from a number of
academic perspectives, what amounts to a quite straightforward and simple
conclusion. Art is a normal and necessary behavior of human beings that like
other common and universal human occupations and preoccupations such as talking,
working, exercising, playing, socializing, learning, loving, and caring should
be recognized, encouraged, and developed in everyone."
