• The traditional difficulty of balancing the mechanical with the imaginative schools of photography still operates. In schools of photography meaningful art education is often lacking and on the strength of their technical ability alone students, deprived of a richer artistic training, are sent forth inculcated with the belief that they are creative photographers and artists. It is yet a fact that today, as in the past, the most inspiring and provocative works in photography come as much (and probably more) from those who are in the first place artists.

• Just as a husband cannot be indulgent of adultery in his wife, so also God cannot and will not endure infidelity in us.

We would regard such a person as deficient in moral character and lacking in true love.
