“Thus today - as always - 

art knows no national boundaries.

Genius can speak in any tongue, 

and the entire world will hear it and listen.

 

Behind the storm of daily conflict and crisis,

the dramatic confrontations, 

the tumult of political struggle,

the poet, the artist, the musician, 

continues the quiet work of centuries,

building bridges of experience between peoples,

reminding man of the universality of his feelings 

and desires and despairs,

and reminding him that the forces that unite 

are deeper than those that divide.”

- President Kennedy (1962) (full speech in video)
