Somewhere-in desolate wind-swept space-
In Twilight-land-in No-man's land-
Two hurrying Shapes met face to face,
And bade each other stand.

"And who are you?” cried one, agape,
Shuddering in the gloaming light.
"I know not,” said the second Shape,
"I only died last night.”. (Thomas Bailey Aldrich)

After our death, when we come face to face with Christ, we will understand the why and how of our lives and we will be told everything we went through in this world. Then, with all the power of our existence, we will say to Him, "Thank you, my God, for allowing these for me!"

Paisios of Mount Athos

Trust to HIM. There are days in which the sun is not seen-when a lurid darkness brings a second night over the earth. It matters not. The great luminary is always there. There may be clouds before his face, but the winds will blow them away. The man or the people that trust in God will find a lake for every See-wise.

James Fenimore Cooper

I think size is the most unused quotient in the sculptor's repertoire because it requires lots of commitment and time. To me it's the best tool. With size you get space and atmosphere: atmosphere becomes volume. You stand in the shape, in the zone.

Michael Heizer

I see a face of love, Fair as sweet music when my heart was strong: Yea - art thou come again to me, great Song?" The face bent over him like silver night In long-remembered summers; that calm light Of days which shine in firmaments of thought, That past unchangeable, from change still wrought.

George Eliot

I want my books to last, to stand the test of time, and to do that I focus on the forces that shape the subject - the cultural and sociological geography - to capture them in a way that will explain them no matter what they are doing.
