Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.

The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; one must sense him everywhere but never see him.

The secret to living is giving.

I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.

The night is a liar, but the dawn tells the truth.
