It is a talent of the weak to persuade themselves that they suffer for something when they suffer from something; that they are showing the way when they are running away; that they see the light when they feel the heat; that they are chosen when they are shunned.

It is a talent of the weak to persuade themselves that they suffer for something when they suffer from something; that they are showing the way when they are running away; that they see the light when they feel the heat; that they are chosen when they are shunned.

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away. that is, running away in the heat of anger with a knapsack on her pack. she didn't like discomfort; even picnics were untidy and inconvenient: all those insects and the sun melting the icing on the cupcakes. therefore, she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere but would be running to somewhere.

"it is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. it is light i "listen" to. the light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. after sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. i see magic in the quiet light of dusk. i feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. a sense of magic prevails. a sense of mystery. it is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs.

Every one ought to study the bible with two ends in view: his own growth in knowledge and grace, and passing it on to others. we ought to have four ears,- two for ourselves, and two for other people. my bible is worth a good deal to me because i have so many passages marked that, if i am called upon to speak at any time, i am ready. we ought to be prepared to pass around heavenly thoughts and truths, just as we do the coin of the realm.
