"SOLACE, JOY,  COMPASSION,  DELIGHT AND WONDER.  These are the experiences I,  since childhood,  have sought and found in The San Diego Museum of Art. In these times of besieged humanism,  it is ever more vital to support this institution where the aspirations,  passions and reverences of all world cultures are preserved and presented for our regard and edification."
