JFK on Poetry, Power, and the Artist’s Role in Society: His Eulogy for Robert Frost, One of the Greatest Speeches of All Time “We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.”

"When power corrupts, poetry cleanses... We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth."

Remember JFK, who was killed on this day in 1963, with his magnificent speech on the political power of art: www.themarginalian.org/2015/05/01/j...

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." John Lewis

When I make mugs, I always pay attention to how they feel, especially in the hands.
