We do not have to go in search of passion. Instead we need to search for God, who plants the seed of passion in our hearts.

God wants to hear about our cares, not because he needs to hear but because we need to tell him.

The world hangs like a heart-shaped locket around my neck.

Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.

If a man prays to Thee with a yearning heart, he can reach Thee, through Thy grace, by any path.

Loyalty is my biggest thing.
