― Dorothy Day

“Creativity, I believe, is inherent in all of us. We are the progeny of almighty God. God is defined in many ways: all-powerful, all-wise, and all-seeing; everlasting; the lawgiver; the ultimate source of love, beauty, justice, and happiness. Most of all, he is the creator. He created the universe, and those who inhabit it; and, in creating us, he made us in his own image, so that his personality and capacities, however feebly, are reflected in our minds, bodies, and immortal spirits. So we are, by our nature, creators as well.”
― Paul Johnson, Creators: From Chaucer and Durer to Picasso and Disney

“Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector.”
― Graham Greene
