“For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die.”
― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.”
― Vincent Van Gogh

“All important things in art have always originated from the deepest feeling about the mystery of Being.”
― Emil Nolde

“Art is not a mirror held up to reality
but a hammer with which to shape it.”
― Bertolt Brecht
